The figures in brackets are the approximate equivalent whole-time units of sessions worked by the number of consultants shown. (These figures have generally been rounded to the nearest whole-time unit.) Some of the consultants concerned work in more than one of the hospitals and some also hold appointments with the Regional Hospital Board. Both whole-time and part-time officers have been counted as one in each of the hospitals in which they work. The figures relate to 31st December in each year.
§ Mr. W. Griffithsasked the Minister of Health what is the average waiting period for a non-pay bed in hospitals controlled by the North Manchester, West Manchester, South Manchester, and the North and Mid-Cheshire Hospital Management Committees; and what was the average waiting period twelve months ago.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithWaiting periods vary according to the degree of urgency of cases and the specialty involved, and between hospitals in a group. Apart from urgent cases—which are given immediate admission—the waiting periods in the four groups referred to vary as follows:
North Manchester Group
From 1 to 48 weeks.
West Manchester Group
From 3 weeks to 3 years.
South Manchester Group
From up to 1 week to between 4 and 5 years.

The position twelve months ago was generally similar.
§ Mr. W. Griffithsasked the Minister of Health whether he will state the number of clerical and administrative, maintenance, kitchen, and other non-medical or nursing staff employed by the. Manchester Royal Infirmary, St. Mary's Hospital, and the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital in each year from 1950 to 1959.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithInformation for the years 1950–52 is not available in the form requested. Information for the United Manchester Hospitals Group for the years 1953 to 1959 is given in the table below under the groups of staff which most closely approximate to those mentioned. Many of these staff are employed on a group basis and it is not therefore possible to break the figures down into separate figures for individual hospitals.
