asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients suffering from chronic renal failure were treated in 1984; and how many were not.

Mr. Whitney

According to information supplied by the European Dialysis and Transplant Association, 11,235 patients with chronic or end stage renal failure were receiving treatment in the United Kingdom at 31 December 1984. No information is available on the total number of patients with chronic renal failure who might have benefited from treatment.
