HC Deb 13 July 1978 vol 953 c728W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients from Merseyside have had to travel to London for heart treatment in each of the past three years to the latest available date.

Mr. Moyle

I refer my hon. Friend to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Ormskirk (Mr. Kilroy-Silk), on 12th July.

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of evidence that cardiac patients have died on Merseyside as a result of inadequate care caused by lack of funds, he will provide a greater share of resources to the Merseyside area health authority to enable it to provide better facilities for such patients.

Mr. Moyle

I refer my hon. Friend to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Garston (Mr. Loyden) on 12th July.
