HC Deb 27 November 1989 vol 162 c101W
Sir John Farr

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the average waiting time for an appointment in the Leicester area for a patient waiting to be seen by an orthopaedic specialist; and what was the waiting time one year ago and five years ago.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

We do not collect information on out-patient waiting times centrally. My hon. Friend may wish to write to the chairman of Leicester district health authority who could supply the information he seeks.
