Mrs. Wise
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress is being made in increasing the supply of kidney machines; and if the machines currently being purchased were manufactured in Great Britain.
Mr. Moyle
My Department is discussing with health authorities how the additional money for the 400 extra kidney machines, whose purchase my right hon. Friend has authorised, may best be utilised by the National Health Service. In the meantime we are increasing the orders to the two British firms under contract to my Department.
