Dr. Ladyman: The Government have put in place a programme of national health service investment and reform since 1997 to improve
service delivery in all parts of the United Kingdom.There is significant evidence that these policies have yielded benefits for the
llford North constituency.
For example: At the end of November 2004, the number of people waiting more than nine months for inpatient treatment within
Redbridge primary care trust (PCT) fell to zero, from 384 in June 2003. At the end of September 2004, the number of patients,
waiting over 13 weeks for outpatient treatment within Redbridge PCT has fallen to 914, from 1,710 in June 2003. Figures for June
2003 show that 82.2 per cent., of patients within Redbridge PCT are able to be offered an appointment with a primary care
professional within two working days. In December 2004, the figure was 100 per cent. In the Redbridge PCT area, death rates
from cancer per 100,000 population have fallen to 172.6 in 2003, from 176 in 1997. In the Redbridge PCT area, death rates from
coronary heart disease per 100,000 population have fallen to 127.7 in 2003, from 146.7 in 1997. Between September 2001 and June
2004, the number of general practitioners at Redbridge PCT has increased from 120 to 129. In September 2001, figures show 90
practise nurses within Redbridge PCT. Figures for September 2003 show 89. In June 2003, figures show 110 dentists within Redbridge
PCT. Figures for September 2004 show an increase to 120. Over the period 2003-04 to 2005-06, Redbridge PCT has received an increase
in funding of £40.9 million, an increase of 19.7 per cent.
