§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what instructions he has issued to health authorities about changes in the compilation of hospital waiting list figures; from when the changes will be operative; what estimate he has made of the likely percentage differences the changes will make to waiting list totals; and whether he proposes to reissue published waiting list figures adjusted to match the new figures.
§ Mr. John PattenHealth authorities have not been asked to change the methods by which they compile waiting lists, but to review them to improve their accuracy.
