HC Deb 24 July 1989 vol 157 c534W
Sir Geoffrey Finsberg

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the waiting list figures for June 1988 and June 1989 in respect of the Hampstead health authority.

Mr. Mellor

The latest published figures, for September 1988, show 4,386 patients on Hampstead health authority's waiting list. The figure for September 1987 was 3,706. Provisional figures for March 1989 suggest a substantial reduction, to below the September 1987 level.
