§ 98. Mrs. Joyce Butlerasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been drawn to the decision of Lodge Moor Hospital, Sheffield, to appoint a jury of lay men and women to decide priorities in the use of the kidney machine; and what advice he is giving to hospital authorities as to the way in which hospitals generally should deal with this problem.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI am informed that the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board has taken no decision on the composition of any advisory panel that may be set up. I am in touch with the Board and propose to consider whether general guidance should be issued on this matter.
