§ Colonel Beamishasked the Minister of Health what has been the average size of the hospital waiting list in England and Wales in each year since the National Health Service began.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI regret that average figures are not available. For the numbers on the waiting list at the end of each year, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Wythenshawe (Mrs. Hill) on 28th January.
