HC Deb 28 February 1984 vol 55 c156W
42. Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress is being made within the National Health Service in the treatment and rehabilitation of severed spinal cords (spinal lesions).

Mr. John Patten

Special provision is made for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with spinal lesions in the eight spinal units now operating in England. I understand that proper account is being taken of new methods of helping these patients.
