HC Deb 24 January 1984 vol 52 c498W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many studies have been made by the Medical Research Council into the provision of concentrators instead of cyclinders of oxygen for home oxygen therapy; if he will summarise their results; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Security gave to his related questions on 23 November 1983—[c. 195–96]—and particularly to my hon. Friend's reference to advice given by the Medical Research Council. The council has not carried out any studies into the provision of concentrators instead of cylinders of oxygen for home oxygen therapy.
