§ Mrs. Renee Shortasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the report of the working party on hospital waiting lists.
§ Sir K. JosephAs I indicated in my reply to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Nelson and Colne (Mr. Waddington) on 6th July, I am consulting the Joint Consultants Committee on the working party's conclusions and recommendations. I hope as a result to publish guidance to hopsital authorities which will embody those conclusions and recommendations.—[Vol. 859, c. 233–4.]
