HC Deb 06 December 1994 vol 251 cc158-9W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many instances there have been in the last year of patients with osteoporosis at the Wrexham Maelor hospital having(a) a limb or (b) more than one limb accidentally broken while in the hospital.

Mr. Richards

While this is a matter for the Wrexham Maelor Hospital NHS trust, I understand that during 1994 3 patients with osteoporosis have suffered a fracture of a limb with, sadly, one of these suffering fractures of two limbs.
