§ Mr. BattleTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish a table showing the number of people on waiting lists for urgent and non-urgent operations for each health authority in Yorkshire and Humberside for each year since 1979.
§ Mr. FreemanThe available information is given in the table. The Körner committee on health services information felt that the distinction between urgent and non-urgent cases was too subjective to be reliable. The information has thus not been subdivided in this way since 1987.
