HC Deb 11 May 1989 vol 152 c495W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statment on trends in deaths and discharges per bed in urology in the Halton district health authority area.

Mr. Freeman

There is insufficient information to determine the trend. In 1986, when urology treatment first became available in Halton, 35 in-patient cases were treated. In 1987–88 there were 553 episodes of in-patient urology treatment and 432 day cases.
