§ Mr. Parkasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the latest figures of people on the waiting lists for the Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry; and how these compare with the average figures for hospitals in England and Wales.
§ Mr. MoyleAt 31st December 1976, the latest date for which figures are readily available, waiting lists at Walsgrave Hospital were as follows:
Neurology 31 Cardiology 35 Geriatrics 9 General Surgery 911 Ear, Nose and Throat 674 Urology 168 Thoracic Surgery 79 Neurosurgery 79 Gynaecology 639 Mental Illness 1 Average figures for hospitals in England and Wales are not computed and would not be meaningful. I will, however, send my hon. Friend information comparing waiting lists in Coventry with those in other areas in the West Midlands.
