HC Deb 18 March 1998 vol 308 c652W
15. Mr. Gray

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what recent representations he has received regarding hospital waiting lists in Wales. [33443]

Mr. Win Griffiths

Other than in respect of individual cases, none. Reducing the time people have to wait for treatment, within the emphasis on emergency care, remains a priority for the Government. In recognition of this, I welcome the Chancellor's announcement yesterday,Official Report, columns 1097–1112, of additional moneys for NHS Wales next year, much of which will be used to target the growth in inpatient waiting lists.
