HC Deb 13 January 1986 vol 89 c496W
Mr. Thurnham

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to meet the Bolton health authority to discuss the waiting list on non-urgent cases waiting for operations for over one year in the area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitney

No. Management of the waiting list on non-urgent cases waiting for operations in Bolton is a matter for the Bolton health authority. My hon. Friend may wish, therefore, to address his concern to the chairman of that authority.
