To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many(a) in-patients and (b) out-patients were treated in the northern region in each year since 1978.

Figures before 1986 refer to discharges and deaths. For 1978 to 1981, figures are published in SH3 national and regional summaries for the relevant year.

For out-patients, numbers of attendances at clinics are published in "Outpatient and ward attenders for England" for each year from 1982 to 1993–94. Earlier figures are published in SH3 national and regional summaries for the relevant year.

Copies of these publications are available in the Library.
