§ Dr. OwenThese facilities, as much as any others in the NHS, can and do benefit from the constant process of renewal and further improvement of services which goes on as resources permit. But if my hon. Friend has in mind any particular aspect, perhaps he would care to write to me.
§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will list the 661W hospitals where the eye disease retina pigmentosa can be successfully treated in the United Kingdom.
§ Dr. OwenRetinitis pigmentosa is an eye condition leading to blindness which it unfortunately has not been possible to date to treat successfully. Palliative treatment is readily available within the NHS.
