Mr. Gill

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to his answer of 2 May 2000,Official Report, column 44W, on hospital beds, if he will list the acute and community based beds available across Worcestershire broken down by the categories in paragraph 3.8.8 of annexe C of Sources, Notes and Definitions, Department of Health Statistical Bulletin NHS Hospital Activity Statistics.

Bed data are not available in the format requested. Bed availability is grouped by sector rather than by individual speciality.

The request concerning acute and community beds requires classification of the trusts within Worcester health authority. Kidderminster Healthcare National Health Service Trust is not classified as acute or community but is included to complete data for Worcester health authority.
