HC Deb 31 January 1995 vol 253 c629W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health in which NHS trusts, over the past 12 months, it has been reported that operations have been cancelled on the day they were due to take place; and where, in such circumstances, patients have not been readmitted within one month.

Mr. Sackville

Information on the number of patients at national health service trusts who, having suffered two last minute cancellations, were not admitted within a month thereafter, is published, for the three months ended March 1994, in "The Patient's Charter Hospital and Ambulance Services Comparative Performance Guide 1993–1994", copies of which are available in the Library.
