§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list by(a) regional health authority and (b) district health authority the number of extra-contractual referrals that were refused for (i) the last 12 months and (iii) 24 months; on what grounds each was refused; and if she will make a statement.
§ Dr. MawhinneyThis information is not available centrally. The grounds on which an extra-contractual referral can be refused are clearly laid out in "Guidance on Extra-Contractual Referrals" (EL(92)60), copies of which are available in the Library.
