HC Deb 28 April 1988 vol 132 c253W
Mr. Favell

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make it his policy to promote the publication in local newspapers of information on individual consultants' waiting lists; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Newton

As part of the waiting list initiative we are encouraging district health authorities to make information about in and out-patient waiting times more widely available to general practitioners and the general public. It is for each health authority to decide how this may best be achieved.
