HC Deb 20 May 1980 vol 985 cc156-7W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to provide greater financial and other back-up resources and facilities in the field of renal replacement, in the light of the fact that such operative procedures are carried out in the United Kingdom at only two-thirds of the frequency that they are performed in major countries of the European Economic Community.

Dr. Vaughan

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Brent, South (Mr. Pavitt) on 12 May.—[Vol. 984, c.353.]
