HC Deb 08 February 1994 vol 237 c199W
Mr. Bayley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many patients had their operations cancelled on the day they were due to arrive in hospital in 1992–93.

Dr. Mawhinney

This information is not collected centrally. Information is, however, collected on performance against the patients charter standard on twice cancelled operations, and is available in the NHS management executive annual report 1992–93, copies of which are in the Library.
