HC Deb 02 March 1983 vol 38 cc162-3W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the numbers and percentages of kidney patients in each of the European Community countries treated by (a) transplant, (b) hospital dialysis, (c) home dialysis and (d) continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The latest available figures are for 31 December 1981 and are shown in the following table.

(2) if he will estimate at current prices, the annual cost of treating a patient by (a) transplant, (b) hospital haemodialysis, (c) home haemodialysis and (d) continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

In a survey conducted by the Department in three hospitals in 1981, the ranges of costs were found to be:

  • Successful transplant: £5,000-£5,750 in first year; annual maintenance £1,400-£1,650.
  • Hospital haemodialysis: £11,200-£13,650.
  • Home haemodialysis: £7,100-£8,700.
  • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD): £7,550-£9,800.

These figures are at November 1981 prices and no later estimate is available. The reliability of the figure for CAPD is doubtful as it is based on limited and early experience of this technique.

Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will publish for the latest available date the two-year survival rates for kidney patients who started the different types of treatment;

(2) if he will publish the number and percentage of new patients with chronic kidney failure over the ages of 45,
