HC Deb 10 February 1954 vol 523 c141W
Mr. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will take steps to ensure that adequate supplies of globulin are readily available to doctors with haemophilic patients north of Edinburgh, in view of the lack of adequate transport across the Forth, especially at night.

Mr. J. Stuart

Supplies are held in Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness as well as in Edinburgh and Glasgow. The objection to any general arrangement for holding supplies locally is that this preparation is not suitable for emergency use without specialist guidance and some prior experience. The best plan to adopt in any particular case has, therefore, to be settled in the light of the individual circumstances.
