HC Deb 09 June 1969 vol 784 cc185-6W
Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give a list of the hospitals in the South-West Regional Hospital Area which have a waiting list for operations, stating how many people have been waiting three or more years for admittance.

Mr. Snow

In answer to the first part of the Question, a waiting list is implicit in the organisation of theatre work. The information asked for in the second part of the Question is not available centrally. Inquiries are being made and I will write to the hon. Member.
