Mr. Kevin Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of district health authorities met the patients charter targets for(a) assessments following admission to accident and emergency units and (b) waiting times in out-patient clinics in the first six months of the financial year.

Mr. Sackville

District health authorities, as purchasers of health care, will shortly be publishing their first annual report on performance against all patients charter standards achieved by their providers.

A commentary on overall performance will be included in the chief executive's annual report for 1992–93.
