HC Deb 15 July 1993 vol 228 c662W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of patients were treated(a) as day patients, (b) as in-patients and (c) in the community by the NHS in each of the last five years for which figures are available.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Information in the exact form requested is not available centrally. However, the available information is given as follows. No percentages have been calculated as a patient may be treated in more than one of the categories or in other categories not given.

Information on individual grants awarded prior to 1988–89 is not readily available. Since 1988–89 a list of all direct Government grants to the voluntary sector has been placed in the Library of the House. I have therefore arranged for a further copy of the Welsh Office entries for the financial years 1988–89, 1989–90, 1990–91 and 1991–92 to be placed in the Library of the House amended to indicate grants awarded solely in respect of Welsh language activities and those awarded under section 21 of the Education Act 1980. However, many of the other grants paid will also have included an element of support for the Welsh language which is not separately identifiable.
