HC Deb 07 March 1961 vol 636 c38W
Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Health what is the average length of time that patients have to wait at Doncaster Royal Infirmary for an operation for arthritis in the feet.

Mr. Powell

Waiting time varies from a few weeks to over a year according to the condition of the patient and the effect of the arthritis on his capacity to work.
