HC Deb 04 February 2000 vol 343 c760W
Mr. O'Hara

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the Government's policy on heart transplants for patients over 60 years. [103957]

Mr. Denham

There is no specific policy on heart transplants for patients over 60. Every patient should be assessed according to his or her individual needs, and there should be no bar to transplantation other than a clear medical contraindication.
