§ Mr. WheelerTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will set out for each of the inner London district health authorities how many people are waiting for colposcopy treatment ; how this compares with the national average; and what are his plans for improving the service.
§ Mrs. CurrieI regret that information on the number of cases awaiting colposcopies is not collected centrally. My hon. Friend may wish to contact the chairmen of the Thames regional health authorities. Health authorities are expected to ensure that they have adequate facilities for the prompt investigation and treatment of women whose gynaecological condition requires it.
