HC Deb 12 November 1984 vol 67 cc145-6W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the current incidence of retrolental fibroplasia amongst newborn babies whose birth was premature; and how this compares with past trends.

Mr. John Patten

Details of the incidence and past trends of retrolental fibroplasia cannot be identified accurately from the statistical information collected centrally. I will write to the hon. Member.
