HC Deb 03 July 1978 vol 953 cc68-9W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has received any evidence that overseas treatment of retinitis pigmentosa has been helpful even though the method adopted may not accord with current and orthodox medical practice within the National Health Service.

Mr. Moyle

I have no objective evidence that overseas treatment of retinitis pigmentosa has been helpful but I have arranged to have inquiries made into certain individual cases which have brought to my attention where there is apparent evidence of subjective improvement following such treatment.
