HC Deb 10 June 1981 vol 6 c131W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how much it cost each year to supply cylinders of oxygen direct to the homes of those patients suffering from chronic bronchitis; and what is the comparable cost for general practitioners to prescribe small cylinders of oxygen for supply to patients through local chemists.

(2) if he will make more funds available for the supply of cylinders of oxygen direct to the homes of those patients suffering from chronic bronchitis.

Dr. Vaughan

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
