HC Deb 25 June 1979 vol 969 c94W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he proposes to take to increase the number of kidneys available for transplant, in view of the public attitude survey currently available to him.

Dr. Vaughan

We are studying the public attitudes survey report and will give particular attention to its implications for increasing the number of kidneys available for transplant. Recommendations for improving the supply of kidneys are also being considered by Lord Smith's working party on organ transplantation, whose report should be available by the early autumn and we shall also take these recommendations into account in deciding what action to take.
