§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why the number of non-urgent cases who have been on hospital waiting lists for more than one year has risen from 397 to 427.
§ Mr. WhitneyI assume the hon. Member refers to waiting lists in Brent district health authority and he may, therefore, wish to contact the chairman of the health authority directly about this. I note, however, that the number of urgent cases on the inpatient waiting list for Brent fell from 224 to 30 over the same period, from September 1984 to March 1985.
