HC Deb 18 July 1979 vol 970 c767W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why there is to be no official inquiry into the death of a 24year-old woman, who came to life just before her kidneys were to be removed, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for West Lothian: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Fairgrieve

I understand from information I have received from the Argyll and Clyde health board that, contrary to press reports, the doctors concerned had not ceased their efforts to resuscitate the woman concerned when she revived. I am awaiting a written report from the board and will write to the hon. Member.
