§ Mr. Gristasked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he proposes to take to ensure that hospitals are made aware of the drastic need for kidneys to be made available for transplants at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary.
§ Mr. Barry JonesIn June 1975 all area medical officers in Wales were reminded of the urgent need for more kidney donors and were asked to encourage co-operation between hospital clinicians and transplant teams in solving the problem of kidney 493W shortage. This advice was reinforced when the issue of new bilingual kidney donor cards was announced last October. At his next regular meeting with area medical officers, the Department's chief medical officer will remind them again of the transplant unit's needs.
