Mr. Alan Lee Williamsasked the Minister of Health what facilities are available for use of a kidney machine in the area covered by the London Borough of Havering.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThere are facilities at Oldchurch Hospital for the treatment of patients suffering from acute renal failure including cases of poisoning. A regional unit to treat patients needing maintenance dialysis has been started at St. Bartholomew's Hospital which will later be expanded at St. Leonard's Hospital, N.1. A pilot scheme has been started at the London Hospital and consideration is being given to the expansion of facilities for maintenance dialysis.
