HC Deb 23 May 1974 vol 874 cc251-2W
Mr. John Moore

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in the light of her statement indicating a 56-weeks' waiting time in Croydon for ear, nose and throat operations, compared with a four- to 12-weeks' waiting time in the Bromley area, she will take immediate action to improve the situation in Croydon.

Dr. Owen

1 am assured that there is no delay in urgent cases. However, I am asking the regional health authority to take any action which may be practicable.
