HC Deb 17 March 1920 vol 126 cc2208-9
81. Mr. W. GRAHAM

asked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been directed to the fact that many discharged men suffering from tuberculosis in all parts of the country are being sent to ordinary medical boards for the reassessment of their pensions; whether these pensions are, in many cases, being reduced; and whether he will take steps to ensure that an expert in tuberculosis shall always be a member of a medical board when it deals with the cases of men suffering from tuberculosis?

Sir J. CRAIG

Whenever a specialist's opinion is required arrangements are made to secure either that the Tuberculosis Officer of the district sits on the board or that the man is referred to him for examination and report.
