HC Deb 09 May 1988 vol 133 c36W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the day-patient attendance rate for the over 65s in each north-west health authority and in Greater London.

Mrs. Currie

Information, including the age of patients admitted to a hospital bed for treatment as a day case and regular day admissions, will be available centrally for the first time later this year. For patients using NHS day care facilities, the specialty function classification will provide some indication of the age groups using the facility.
