§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many surgical operations to treat epilepsy took place within the NHS in the latest year for which figures are available; and what guidance she has given to purchasing authorities to increase this figure.
§ Mr. SackvilleThis information is not held centrally. It is for health authorities, within available resources, to purchase services to meet the needs of their residents including the need for epilepsy surgery.
