HC Deb 25 March 1980 vol 981 c504W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the present waiting list for patients requiring surgery in Scunthorpe general hospital.

Dr. Vaughan

At 31 December 1979, there was a total of 1,678 patients on the waiting list for surgical operations at Scunthorpe general hospital. I suggest that, if my hon. Friend wants further information on this matter, he may like to consult the Humberside area health authority direct.
