HC Deb 28 January 1985 vol 72 c16W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the number of dialysis kidney machines in operation on an area basis in Scotland; and how many will be in operation in 1986 and 1987.

Mr. John MacKay

Information about the number of machines is not collected centrally, since the differing patterns of use of such machines means that there is no direct relationship with the number of treatments given.
