HC Deb 27 March 1984 vol 57 c152W
28. Mr. Gould

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with the treatment available to cardiac patients through the National Health Service.

Mr. John Patten

We are satisfied with the range and quality of services for cardiac patients provided in the National Health Service, which are respected internationally as being of the highest standard. However, we have in particular asked health authorities to give special attention in their plans to the development of coronary artery surgery.
