HC Deb 06 March 1979 vol 963 c611W
50. Miss Boothroyd

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with the waiting lists for surgery of those residing within the Sandwell area health authority.

Mr. Moyle

Waiting lists and times are longer than I would wish. The concentration of facilities at the new Sandwell district general hospital, the first phase of which should be fully commissioned later this year, is expected to improve the situation.
