HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 cc43-4W
Mr. Cummings

To ask the Secretary of State for Health on what grounds it was decided not to make mammillas an integral part of a cosmetic mammary gland provided by the National Health Service; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Some brands available under the NHS are integral. It is for the consultant responsible to decide, in consultation with the patient, which type of prosthesis to prescribe.
