HC Deb 10 June 1986 vol 99 cc146-7W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to the answer of 18 April, Official Report, column 531, what information he has as to those developments in the treatment of spasmodic torticolis which are generally accepted within the medical profession and as to their availability within the National Health Service.

Mr. Whitney

This Department does not hold comprehensive information on treatments that are being used for specific conditions, though we are made aware of certain developments from time to time. The acceptability of particular treatments is a matter for the medical profession, and their availability is a matter for health authorities.
