§ Mr. CartwrightTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many National Health Service(a) in-patients and (b) out-patients have been treated at the Queen Elizabeth military hospital, Woolwich, during each of the past 10 years.
§ Mr. NeubertI refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply given by my predecessor on 28 April at columns242–43. It has not proved possible to produce reliable information for the years prior to 1983 when the records were maintained manually. The comparable figures for 1988 are: in-patients 6,507; day patients 1,575; out-patients 5,208.
