Mr. Michael Brown
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the present waiting list for patients requiring surgery in Scunthorpe general hospital.
Dr. Vaughan
At 31 December 1979, there was a total of 1,678 patients on the waiting list for surgical operations at Scunthorpe general hospital. I suggest that, if my hon. Friend wants further information on this matter, he may like to consult the Humberside area health authority direct.
