HC Deb 10 February 1993 vol 218 c698W
Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will publish the Royal College of Physicians' report commissioned by her Department which examines the recommendations for guidelines on hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Mr. Sackville

The Department of Health did not commission the report on hyperbaric medicine. The working party was set up by the faculty of occupational medicine. Publication of the report is a matter for the Royal College of Physicians.

Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will consider issuing a health notice giving guidelines on the value of hyperbaric oxygen as a treatment for gas gangrene and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Mr. Sackville

I have no such plans at present.
