§ Mrs. BeckettTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the change in emergency admissions to hospital by regional health authority and in total for each quarter of 1993 and 1994.
§ Mr. Sackville[holding answer 13 March 1995]: The table shows numbers of non-elective admissions in the general and acute specialties for each regional health authority in England and in total, using information collected by the national health service executive.
For England as a whole, the national proportion of non-elective admissions in relation to total admissions has remained at about 47 per cent. for all the period.
