asked the Minister of Health if he will give comparative figures of waiting lists for consultative and surgical admission to hospitals in Monmouthshire now, and in 1948; and if he will make a statement.

Seven non-surgical and 5,497 surgical at the end of March. Comparable figures for 1948 are not available but the figures for the end of 1949 were 96 non-surgical and 6,457 surgical.
