HC Deb 28 January 1992 vol 202 c545W
Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list by directly managed unit and by trust unit the waiting list for cancer treatment as at December 1991 in(a) the South West regional health authority and (b) Wessex regional health authority.

Mr. Waldegrave

Waiting list information is collected centrally by specialty, not by diagnosis of patient. At 31 March 1991, the latest date for which specialty information is available, there were 38 patients waiting for radiotherapy in the South Western regional health authority and one patient waiting in the Wessex regional health authority.

I understand that there are no patients waiting for radiotherapy treatment at the Royal United hospital, Bath.
