In-patient Treatment

HC Deb 25 April 1988 vol 132 c14W

20. Mr. Alex Carlisle

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people are waiting for in-patient treatment for urgent and non-urgent cases in Powys; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist

Thirty-two people were waiting for non-urgent in-patient treatment in NHS hospitals in Powys on 30 September 1987, a reduction of 45 per cent. on the previous year, and none were waiting for urgent treatment. I congratulate the Powys health authority on meeting its in-patient targets.
