§ Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the current waiting list for hip replacement operations at each of the hospitals in England and Wales where this operation is normally carried out; and how this compares with the situation six months, one year, and three years ago in each case.
§ Mr. MoyleI regret that the information sought by the hon. Member is not available centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Waiting lists for operations of this kind tend to be on the long side.
