HC Deb 27 October 1987 vol 121 c238W
1. Mr. Vaz

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he is taking to reduce waiting lists in Leicestershire.

Mr. Newton

Leicestershire district health authority is receiving £151,500 from the waiting list fund. This will enable its hospitals to treat 210 extra in-patients and 500 extra out-patients. This is in addition to the measures being taken within existing resources to improve waiting lists and times.
