§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish a list of family practitioner committees and the district health authorities to which they each relate.
§ Mr. Kenneth Clarke[pursuant to his reply, 17 January 1985, c. 225]: The existing 90 family practitioner committees in England and the district health authority or authorities which established or adopted them are set out in the table. The list does not include details of the agency arrangements which are currently operated by certain FPCs and DHAs.
On 1 April 1985 the 90 FPCs will be replaced by an equal number, established to act for specified localities. An order, establishing 75 of the new English FPCs and specifying their localities, was laid before Parliament on 2 January. The remaining 15 will be the subject of a further order to be made shortly.

We do not collect information centrally on the numbers of ambulances and ambulance stations. The following table is derived from statistics compiled by York district health authority. The figures for 1983–84 are not yet available.
table. In general, figures on waiting lists are believed to include a significant proportion of duplicated entries and patients who no longer require treatment. The amount of overstatement cannot readily be estimated, but is thought to exceed 10 per cent. nationally and could be considerably more. About half of all admissions to hospital are immediate, and many of those on waiting lists already have a planned date of admission.
