HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c458W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the present expenditure on kidney machines owned by the National Health Service; how this compares with the figure 12 months earlier; and what is the target for numbers of machines and expenditure for each of the next three years.

Dr. Vaughan

Information on National Health Service expenditure on kidney machines is not collected centrally. This is for individual health authorities to decide in the light of local needs and the resources available to meet them.
