To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish a table showing the number of people on waiting lists for urgent and non-urgent operations for each health authority in Yorkshire and Humberside for each year since 1979.
The available information is given in the table. The Körner committee on health services information felt that the distinction between urgent and non-urgent cases was too subjective to be reliable. The information has thus not been subdivided in this way since 1987.
In-patient waiting list, surgical specialties1, by district health authority, Yorkshire and Humberside standard region, as at 31 March 1979 to 1989
