HC Deb 19 May 1978 vol 950 c338W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he will give the findings of the recent Office of Health Economics report "Renal Failure—A Priority in Health?" in terms of staffing and facilities in Scotland.

Mr. Harry Ewing

This report, which has just been published, will be considered by my Department in relation to the Scottish situation.

Following on the Budget Statement about additional resources for this purpose, the health boards concerned have already been asked urgently to consider what steps can be taken during 1978–79 to expand this service in Scotland.
