Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 November 2006. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education Debate on the Address.

Health and Education

Before the Secretary of State gets too carried away discussing waiting list comparisons with her hon. Friends, I should remind her of what I was told in reply to a parliamentary question on 8 November when I asked what percentage of patients on in-patient waiting lists were seen within six months in each year, going back to 1990. In 1997-98, 85 per cent. of patients were treated within six months. In 2004-05—the last year for which data were available—the figure was 87 per cent. Perhaps the right hon. Lady would like to comment on that.
