§ Mr. BerryTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made by the working party on silicone cosmesis; and when its findings will be reported. [146275]
§ Mr. DenhamA small working party met three times between November 1999 and March 2000 to inform Department of Health policy discussions in relation to the provision of silicone cosmesis through the National Health Service. There was no formal report. However, in the light of the working party's deliberations, we have announced funding for 2001–02 and recurrently for the NHS to increase provision of high to low definition silicone cosmesis.
