§ Ms. HoeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will publish figures for each six months since June 1987 for inner London of(a) the numbers of people on waiting lists for in-patient hospital treatment, (b) the numbers of people on those waiting lists admitted to hospital for treatment and (c) the numbers of people removed from those waiting lists for other reasons.
§ Mr. SackvilleInformation on the numbers of people waiting by district health authority is given in the publication "Hospital Waiting List, in-patients and Day Cases" published every six months, copies of which are available in the Library. Information on admissions and removals from waiting lists for all district health authorities is not routinely collated centrally. For the relevant information at national level, I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Sheffield, Brightside (Mr. Blunkett) on 22 October at columns369–70.
