§ Mr. Nicholas BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what information he has as to the different frequencies and the number of times individual consultants see National Health Service patients in respect of the 10 most common hospital treatments; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. CurrieThis information is not collected centrally. How often, and how many times, an individual patient is seen by the consultant is a matter for the latter to decide in the light of his clinical assessment of that patient's condition.
