Smartphone shipments topped PCs for the first time ever last year, by 73 million units, according to figures published by research firm Canalys on Friday.
The Department for Children, Schools and Families said it had recently published new guidance for local authorities and introduced dedicated child abuse investigation units into all police forces.
In the first part of her study, published in the British Medical Journal last year, Ms Ashcroft said the units she studied continued to carry out high-risk procedures such as performing epidurals, despite all being short of staff.
Accordingly, the reality is that the results to be published on 16 August, can only embrace those students who have taken 3 AS units in those centres (the 75%) which answered in the affirmative regarding cashing in at the examination entry stage.
The latest NHS figures were published two weeks ago and they suggest that in England, the average weekly consumption in 2008 was nearly 17 units for men and nearly nine units for women.
