HC Deb 26 November 1962 vol 668 c4W
47. Mr. Milne

asked the Minister of Health what were the statistics regarding the number of people on the waiting lists for hospitals serving the Blyth constituency area, analysed by specialty, on which he has based his proposals for a change in the function of these hospitals.

Mr. Braine

The provisional long-term proposals are not based on present waiting lists but on the standards of hospital provision set out in Command 1604.
