HC Deb 30 March 1990 vol 170 cc353-4W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish in theOfficial Report a list of those medical conditions which cannot be treated by hospitals within Wales but can be treated by hospitals within England.

Mr. Grist

Information on every medical condition which cannot be treated by hospitals within Wales but can be treated by hospitals within England is not held centrally. However, there are a number of health services which, to be clinically effective and economically viable, need to be provided to a population greater than that of Wales or any single English region. Those services, known as supra-regional services, which are provided to the population of Wales and England by hospitals in England, are as follows:

  • Chorioncarcinoma Services
  • Craniofacial Services
  • Endoprosthetic Service for Primary Bone Tumours
  • Heart Tranplantation
  • Liver Transplantation
  • Non-Transplant Liver Services
  • Neo-natal and Infant Cardiac Surgery
  • Psychiatric Services for Deaf People
  • Retinoblastoma Services
  • Stereotactic Radiosurgery
