§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy were treated in each of the health authorities in Wales in the most recent year for which figures are available; and if he is satisfied that the treatment available at such centres in the Principality is as good as that available at London and English provincial centres.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe numbers of spells of inpatient care for which the principal diagnosis was diabetic retinopathy are as follows for the year endng 31 December 1982:
Number Clwyd 25 Dyfed 26 Gwent 16 Gwynedd 60 Mid Glamorgan 30 Powys 0 South Glamorgan 12 West Glamorgan 5 174 I have no reason to suppose that the treatment available at centres in Wales is inferior to that in England.
