HC Deb 14 July 1997 vol 298 c78W
Mr. Jack

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish by speciality for each hospital trust the numbers of people on their waiting lists in May(a) 1992 and (b) 1997. [7453]

Mr. Milburn

Waiting list information for all trusts is collected quarterly and is not therefore available for the month of May. The latest information, which shows numbers of patients waiting by trust, specialty and six-month timebands, is contained in "Hospital Waiting List Statistics: England at 31 March 1997", copies of which are available in the Library, as is the corresponding publication giving the position on 31 March 1992.
