HC Deb 23 November 1970 vol 807 c30W
93. Mr. Raphael Tuck

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has for improving the waiting-time situation for patients on the ear, nose and throat and genito-urinary waiting lists at Watford General Hospital.

Mr. Alison

The Regional Hospital Board's plans for the Watford General Hospital include a new operating theatre which will make it possible to reduce the waiting list for ear, nose and throat patients. A revision of medical staffing arrangements recently agreed is expected to shorten the waiting time for genitourinary patients.
