HC Deb 22 July 1986 vol 102 c202W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients have been on waiting lists for coronary artery bypass operations for every year for the past 15 years.

Mr. Whitney

I am sorry I cannot give the hon. Member the information he seeks. It is not collected centrally. Information on waiting lists for admission to hospital is available centrally by the specialty of treatment and not by operation.
