To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what progress has been made during this financial year in reducing hospital waiting lists.
Mr. Nicholas Bennett
Detailed information on waiting lists at September 1990 will be published soon which I fully expect to show that Welsh hospitals continue to treat record numbers of patients. Since 1979 in-patient and out-patient attendance has increased by some 34 per cent. and 28 per cent. respectively.
