HC Deb 03 December 2002 vol 395 c748W
30. Mr. Allan

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received concerning the future care of heart and lung transplant patients from the Sheffield area. [82646]

Mr. Hutton

I visisted the Northern General Hospital Cardio-Thoracic Unit on 20 June this year.

I subsequently met the chair, chief executive and medical director of the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust on 11 September 2002. On both occasions I received representations on the future care of heart and lung transplant patients.

I have also received three letters on this subject from hon. Members.
