The information requested has been collected since the financial year 1987–88 and copies of the summary booklet "NHS Operating Theatres Availability and Use" for 1987–88 and 1988–89 have been placed in the Library. The 1989–90 data are due to be published shortly and a copy will be placed in the Library as soon as possible.
