HC Deb 03 February 1982 vol 17 c159W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make special financial provision to reduce the expected mortality due to kidney failure in 1982.

Dr. Vaughan

No, but I expect health authorities to make appropriate provision for the treatment of patients suffering from kidney failure. The capital and revenue allocations recently notified to regional health authorities in England for 1982–83 will permit the development of renal and other services in line with national policies and local circumstances and priorities.
