§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list for each year since 1979(a) the number of acute beds available and (b) the number of non-acute beds available in each district health authority, SHA and regional health authority; and if he will give the national total for each year.
§ Mr. FreemanThe information requested has been placed in the Library and I have written to the hon. Member with a copy of such information. These figures amend those for 1987–88 provided to the hon. Member for Holborn and St. Pancras (Mr. Dobson) on 22 December, in the light of changes since reported by health authorities.
