§ Mr. Kevin HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the average waiting time for hospital treatment for patients of(a) fundholding and (b) non-fundholding general practitioners in Doncaster. [6607]
§ Mr. HoramSuch information as is available centrally is contained in "Hospital Waiting List Statistics: England (Resident Based)", copies of which are available in the Library. This shows, by individual health authority and specialty and within six month time bands, the number of patients waiting for admission to hospital. Average waiting times are not collected centrally. Patients funded by health authorities and those funded by general practitioner fundholders are also shown separately.
