asked the Minister of Health the number of names on the surgical waiting list in Hull on 30th June; the periods of the maximum delay and in which categories of cases; and the number, out of the 508 cases of 30th April, which the Leeds Regional Hospital Board has since sent elswhere in the region to reduce the delays.

Mr. R. Thompson

Five hundred and seventy-six adults and 91 children. The information requested in the second part of the Question is not readily available and I will write to the hon. and gallant Member. No specific arrangements have been made by the Leeds Regional Hospital Board to send cases on the waiting list to hospitals outside the Hull "A" Group.
