§ Mr. de Freitasasked the Minister of Health when it is expected that David Hughes, 4 Grainsby Close, Lincoln, will have the operation which the senior registrar of the plastic and jaw department of the United Sheffield Hospitals, The Royal Hospital Annexe, stated on 23rd August, 1954, it was hoped to perform within the next few months.
§ Mr. TurtonI am informed that this operation is not in any way urgent. The patient is now at the top of the waiting-list for non-urgent cases, but I cannot 211W say when the operation will be performed, as it may be delayed by emergency cases which must take priority.
