asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is now the waiting list in each of the districts within the Surrey AHA area for out-patients' appointments; and what it was 12 months ago.

Following are the figures for three districts:

District	January 1974	January 1975
Mid-Surrey	Not available	483
South-West Surrey	2,713	2,389
North-West Surrey	964	1,016

No meaningful figures can be given for the North Surrey and West Surrey/North East Hampshire districts due to the large number of closures and other changes which have occurred during the past year.No figures are available for the East Surrey District.
