§ Mr. Tom Boardmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the average length of time that patients, who have had non-urgent surgical operations performed at the Leicester Royal Infirmary in the last six months for which figures are available, had been waiting for such operations.
§ Mr. AlisonInformation relating to the first quarter of this year is expected to become available in June and I will send it to my hon. Friend. Such statistics are readily obtainable only from hospital activity analysis which was not introduced at the Leicester Royal Infirmary until 1st January, 1972, and information prior to that date is not therefore available.
