HC Deb 20 December 1982 vol 34 c361W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are his estimates of the total catchment population of each regional health authority in England and Wales.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The estimated numbers of people resident in each regional health authority area on 30 June 1981 are shown in OPCS Monitor PP82/3, a copy of which is in the Library. These are the most up-to-date figures available and were derived from the results of the 1981 census. OPCS does not make estimates of total catchment populations.
