§ Mr. Michael McNair-Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what standards have been laid down by the European Community for kidney dialysis; and if a directive to this effect has been issued from Brussels by the Commission.
§ Mrs. CurrieNo directive on this subject has been agreed by the European Community, but measures for the protection of dialysis patients by minimising the exposure to aluminium are set out in a resolution adopted in June 1986 by the Council of the European Communities and the representatives of the member states, meeting within the Council. The resolution was published in theOfficial Journal of the European Communities (OJ No. C204, 23 July 1986, page 16) which is available in the Library.
