HC Deb 10 May 1984 vol 59 c444W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, pursuant to his reply on 28 March, Official Report, column 211, he will list, in relation to 2,670 discharges and deaths of patients resident in west Cumbria who were treated as inpatients in National Health Service hospitals outside west Cumbria, the conditions for which they sought treatment outside the West Cumbria health district.

Mr. John Patten

The sample information held centrally is insufficient to give reliable estimates for individual diagnostic groups. I suggest the hon. Member writes to the chairman of the northern regional health authority who may be able to give him the required information.
