HC Deb 18 October 1971 vol 823 c64W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he is taking to increase the supply of kidney donors.

Sir K. Joseph

Better use of available kidneys should be achieved by a scheme of which I hope to announce full details shortly which will provide a national interchange of detailed clinical information about patients requiring transplants and about kidneys available for the purpose. I am actively studying whether other acceptable and effective means of increasing supply can be devised.
