HC Deb 31 January 1983 vol 36 cc22-3W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the Government will provide adequate funds to keep the Anthony Nolan bone marrow tissue-typing laboratories at St. Mary Abbot's hospital open.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The Anthony Nolan laboratory is supported principally by the Anthony Nolan trust. However, we have made annual grants to the running costs of the laboratory over the past four years and we are at the moment considering a request from the trust for a further grant.
