HC Deb 08 March 1979 vol 963 cc811-2W
Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how the average earnings of ambulance men compare

diagnostic consultancy at the Basingstoke district general hospital following referral by local general practitioners; and, in particular, what is the longest delay likely to be experienced at the present time in relation to referral of a woman patient requiring investigation of an unspecified lump in the body.

Mr. Moyle

The waiting time for non-urgent cases requiring radiodiagnostic consultancy at Basingstoke district general hospital varies from nil to eight months, depending upon the procedure required. A woman patient requiring investigation of an unspecified lump in the body would be dealt with without delay.
