35. Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made in the reduction of the waiting lists for hip replacements; and if he will make a statement. [57385]

Mr. Milburn

Information on waiting lists for individual procedures is not available nationally. However, the £417 million additional resources made available this year will enable the National Health Service to make progress in tackling waiting lists for hip replacements.
