HC Deb 30 January 1996 vol 270 c688W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he willl place in the Library a copy of the corrective letter issued by the Welsh Health Common Services Authority to its September 1995 waiting times information bulletin with respect to the information on the orthopaedic waits for the University hospital of Wales; if he will specify what the inaccuracies were in that corrective letter, as referred to in the apology issued in the November information bulletin; and if he will make a statement. [12572]

Mr. Hague

A copy of the letter of 4 October 1995, distributed with the September 1995 edition of the NHS Wales waiting times information bulletin, will be placed in the Library of the House.

The table of hospital waiting times at University Hospital of Wales Healthcare NHS trust, which accompanied the letter, quoted a zero waiting time or that no data were available for first out-patient appointments in respect of the consultants listed for trauma and orthopaedic specialities. This mistake was corrected in the November 1995 edition of the bulletin.
