§ Mr. NewtonI am sorry that I cannot give the hon. Member the information he seeks. Waiting list information is held centrally by the specialty of treatment and not by diagnosis. On waiting time, the numbers in the central data sample are too small for reliable estimates to be made below regional level or for part of a year. The hon. Member may wish to write to the chairmen of the Islington district health authority and North East Thames regional health authority for the information required.
