The question

To ask the Scottish Executive how many pest infestations there were in each NHS board area in the last year for which figures are available, also broken down by (a) general hospital and (b) type of pest.

The answer

Answered by Shona Robison on 3 Sep 2008 · 13 days after it was lodged, on time

This is a matter for NHS boards. The requested information is not held centrally.
However, I am advised that NHS boards in Scotland have in place pest control contracts which demonstrates an effective management strategy towards this common problem.
