HC Deb 12 March 1992 vol 205 cc635-6W
Mr. Kennedy

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether those waiting for bone marrow transplants are included within waiting lists of patients for national health service treatment.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

[holding answer 11 March 1992]: Yes. If there is no suitable related donor available, an unrelated donor has to be found before a patient can be treated, and this can delay treatment.
