Hospital Waiting Lists

HC Deb 12 July 1973 vol 859 c431W

Mrs. Renee Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the report of the working party on hospital waiting lists.

Sir K. Joseph

As I indicated in my reply to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Nelson and Colne (Mr. Waddington) on 6th July, I am consulting the Joint Consultants Committee on the working party's conclusions and recommendations. I hope as a result to publish guidance to hopsital authorities which will embody those conclusions and recommendations.—[Vol. 859, c. 233–4.]
