HC Deb 15 November 1983 vol 48 c423W
17. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has conveniently available figures to show how many patients who need a heart pacemaker are unable to receive one from the National Health Service.

Mr. John Patten

This information is not held centrally, but we have no evidence that patients who need a pacemaker to preserve life are unable to receive one.
