HC Deb 22 October 1991 vol 196 c563W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the latest available figures showing the total number of recorded cases of juvenile macular degeneration in Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

The number of cases of juvenile macular degeneration is not recorded centrally. However, information available indicates that there were only seven admissions of persons under the age of 16, to hospitals in Wales during the 10 year period 1981–1990, where this diagnosis was recorded.
