HC Deb 15 March 1993 vol 221 cc9-10W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what representations she has received on the means used by Messrs Danzac to influence stomacare nurses in the use of their applicances;

(2) if she will set up an investigation into the methods used by Messrs Danzac to influence nurses to advise on the use of their products by ostomists.

Mr. Yeo

We have recently received representations from the Campaign for Impartial Stomacare (CIS) and AMCARE, a supplier of stomacare products. We have no evidence that sponsorship of national health service stomacare nurses has affected the exercise of their clinical judgment in prescribing suitable products. I have assured CIS that I will investigate any such allegations in individual cases.
