HC Deb 07 July 1982 vol 27 cc119-20W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many people in Wales suffering from renal failure are being treated with peritoneal dialysis; and what progress is being made in getting renal transplants for these patients as quickly as possible.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

One is being treated and three are in training for home peritoneal dialysis; 27 are being treated and eight are in training for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services told the hon. Member on 12 May 1982, the number of transplants is constrained mainly by the supply of donor kidneys.—[Vol. 23, c. 276.]
