The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-12071 by Rhona Brankin on 24 December 2004 and in light of the conference on autism held in Aviemore in November 2005, how many (a) gastroenterologists and (b) immunologists were invited to speak at and/or attend the conference.
The answer
Invitations to the conference were distributed widely to health professionals; 97 of the delegates were from health professions. It is not possible to give a precise breakdown of the specialisms of those professionals who were invited to attend. Whilst a prominent immunologist was invited to speak, he had to withdraw at the last minute. However, a full conference report will be issued which will include sources of information on immunology to address this gap.
