HC Deb 20 May 1966 vol 728 cc317-8W
Mr. Concannon

asked the Minister of Health what facilities exist in the Mansfield area for the treatment of chronic nephritis.

Mr. K. Robinson

In addition to the ordinary medical services already available in the area, an intermittent dialysis unit for the treatment of chronic renal failure is being set up at Lodge Moor Hospital, Sheffield; this will serve the Sheffield hospital region as a whole. The Sheffield Regional Hospital Board hope to have this unit ready to receive its first patients by the end of this year.

There is a dialysis unit for the immediate treatment of acute renal failure at the Royal Hospital, Sheffield.
