HC Deb 23 July 1987 vol 120 c456W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider setting up a special treatment unit for children suffering from dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa; and what assessment his Department has made as to the effectiveness of the private treatment being offered by establishments such as that of Professor Kozak in Gerona.

Mrs. Currie

No representations have so far been made that special treatment units for children suffering from dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa are required. The appropriate treatment of children suffering from this disorder is a matter for the doctor under his responsibility for the care of the individual patient.
