HC Deb 03 February 1976 vol 904 c526W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the inspection she has commissioned for the treatment of retina pigmentosa at the Helmholdst Institute at Moscow has yet been completed; and if she will make a statement.

Dr. Owen

We have asked the USSR authorities to arrange a visit to the institute by a consultant ophthalmologist from this country under the terms of the United Kingdom-USSR agreement on co-operation in the field of medicine and public health signed last year. I hope that this visit will take place shortly.
