HC Deb 09 March 1990 vol 168 cc866-73W
Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish a table to show the current length of waiting lists at each acute hospital in Northern Ireland; and what were the comparable figures in each of the last five years.

Mr. Needham

[holding answer 27 February 1990]: The tables show for each acute hospital in Northern Ireland the total number of inpatients on waiting lists at 30 September and by time spent on list for 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989.

Information on outpatient waiting lists has not been collected centrally since the introduction of Korner returns on 1 April 1988. Information relating to outpatient lists for earlier years could be extracted only at disproportionate cost.
