HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 c348W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to reduce waiting lists in Clwyd; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist

Clwyd health authority was given additional funds of £56,000 in 1986–87 and has been offered some £80,000 in 1987–88 to help tackle the worst problems on hospital waiting lists. In addition, the authority is being encouraged to carry out management action aimed at shortening the time which patients have to wait.
