§ Sir John FarrTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the waiting time for plastic surgery in the Leicester health authority; what are the comparable figures for waiting times in(a) other authorities in the Trent region and (b) nationally; what assessment he has made of the
416WChildminders Regulation Act 1948 to register as child minders persons who for reward look after in their own homes child ren aged under five. We would not expect a local authority to register a child aged under 16 as a child minder. The Government will be introducing amendments to the Children Bill (now in the House of Lords) relating to the registration of child minders by local authorities.
