Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to his Department's report entitled Self-Sufficiency in Blood Products in England and Wales, published in 2007, (a) how many documents were able to be accessed, (b) how many full-time equivalent staff were employed and (c) what the cost was in producing that report.

Four pdf files of relevant official documents were released with “Self-sufficiency in blood products in England and Wales: a chronology from 1973 to 1991” in 2007. Over 4,000 documents were placed on the Department’s website in 2007 and more than 550 were published in 2009 and as more documents were identified or reviewed they were also released.

We do not hold information about how many full-time equivalent staff were employed or what the cost was at that time in producing the report “Self-sufficiency in blood products in England and Wales: a chronology from 1973 to 1991”.
