HC Deb 18 March 1996 vol 274 cc94-6W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will place in the Library a breakdown by district health authority of(a) the number of operations cancelled for non-medical reasons on or after the day of admission and (b) the number of patients not re-admitted within one month after a cancellation for each quarter since records began. [21441]

Mr. Richards

Information on the number of cancelled operations is not collected centrally. Information on the number of patients not re-admitted within one month after a cancellation is given in the following table. The data are collected from individual NHS trusts in Wales and figures may not, therefore, relate to residents of the health authority area in which the trust is situated.
