Answer

Mr. Benton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what changes there have been to NHS waiting list times in the last seven years for the residents of Bootle. [170080] Miss Melanie Johnson: Information most closely associated with place of residency is not collected on a constituency level, but at a health services commissioner level. The data in the tables is given for Sefton health authority for the period 1997-2002, and for South Sefton Primary Care Trust for 2003.
