HC Deb 06 November 1986 vol 103 c594W
Mr. Favell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to encourage health authorities to provide facilities for provision of hospital kidney dialysis at night to assist kidney patients to obtain employment.

Mrs. Currie

It is for health authorities to decide how available resources can best be used to provide dialysis services. We would expect the needs of patients, including the requirements of their employment, to be taken into account when patterns of provision are planned.
