Mr. Wilshire

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many trolley waits of over four hours in locations other than within the accident and emergency department there were at the Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals NHS Trust in each month between January 2001 and February 2002; [46503]

(2) how many operations were cancelled on the day before an operation had been scheduled at the Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals NHS Trust in each month between January 2000 and February 2002. [46502]

Ms Blears

This is day to day management information and is not available centrally.

Information is not collected centrally in the format requested.

Information on the number of operations cancelled at the last minute for non-medical reasons, and breaches to the standard to re-admit patients within one month following such cancellations, are collected on a quarterly basis at health authority level and placed in the Library. The latest figures are for Quarter 2 (July-September) of the 2001–02 financial year.
