HC Deb 09 March 1987 vol 112 c4W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether his Department is monitoring health authorities' reviews of hospital waiting lists so as to assess the extent to which reductions are achieved by increases in efficiency in treating more patients; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mark Robinson

In addition to the information already being received quarterly on waiting lists and patient throughput, district health authorities in Wales have been asked to supply monthly information to the Welsh Office showing throughput of patients on their most problematic waiting lists.
