§ Mr. GrocottTo ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to her answer of 26 January,Official Report, column 689, on the west midlands, what information she has on the number of hospital beds at the dates given.
§ Dr. MawhinneyThe information is shown in the table. The number of beds, however, is not a good indicator of patient activity over the period in question as my earlier reply indicated. As in my earlier reply to the hon. Member, figures for 1991–92 are provisional. Validated figures will be published shortly.
