HC Deb 03 November 1988 vol 139 c749W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if he will publish the district waiting list for 31 March; (2) if he will publish the district waiting list for June; (3) when he expects to publish the waiting list for September.

Mr. Mellor

We published the national and regional waiting list figures for March 1988 on 26 October in the Department of Health statistical bulletin 2/12/88, copies of which were placed in the Library. The district summaries will also be placed in the Library as soon as they are printed. We shall publish the September 1988 figures as soon as possible after they have been received and validated.

In the past we have published waiting list figures for March and September. We are now considering how the new Körner information—which covers far more than waiting lists—can best be made available.
