Mr. Burstow
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the waiting times are for follow-up appointments for consultant neurologists, broken down by Strategic Health Authority [118767]

Mr. Hutton
The current out-patient waiting time standard is that all patients should be seen for their first out-patient appointment within 21 weeks of the general practitioner referral.Waiting time data for follow-up appointments or consultant to consultant referrals is not collected centrally.
