§ Mr. Paul MarsdenTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what the total waiting list for the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital was on(a) 1 May 1997 and (b) on the latest date for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.[154703]
§ Yvette CooperIn 1997 waiting list data were collected quarterly, rather than monthly, and therefore figures for May 1997 are not available. The table shows the in-patient waiting list figures for the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital National Health Service Trust, for March 1997 and the most recent available figures (February 2001).
