HC Deb 25 January 1995 vol 253 cc254-5W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the average number of operations carried out per NHS hospital surgeon per week.

Mr. Sackville

This cannot be determined from the data available. Information on the number of cases operated on in operating theatres in 1993–94 is available in "NHS operating theatres availability and use: England 1993–94", and the number of hospital medical staff at 30 September 1993 is available in the "Statistical Bulletin: Hospital, Public Health Medicine and Community Health Service Medical and Dental Staff in England 1983 to 1993". Copies of both publications are available in the Library.
