HC Deb 12 February 1991 vol 185 cc422-3W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the cost of providing a dialysis unit; what is the running cost; and how many would be required to provide dialysis for all persons judged to be in need of it.

Mr. Dorrell

This information is not collected centrally. The planning and provision of renal services is a matter for health authorities to decide, taking into account local needs and priorities.
