Mr. Bill Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many health authorities have cancelled non-emergency operations in order to clear financial deficits.

Mr. Dorrell

Information on cancelled operations is not held centrally. Proper financial planning to eliminate deficits should not result in operations being cancelled.
