The list does not provide an accurate guide to the facilities available to the residents of particular regions, since there is significant movement of patients across regional boundaries. Furthermore, the list includes only those centres which report data directly to the EDTA registry; some units, particularly those which are satellites of main renal centres, are therefore omitted. Military hospitals are also excluded.
Information on the number of dialysis machines is not collected centrally. The EDTA does not disclose activity statistics relating to individual units, but information on the number of patients receiving different forms of dialysis by region is given in my reply to the hon. Member for Holborn and St. Pancras (Mr. Dobson) on 30 January at columns 42–44.
