§ 39. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that there is the greatest difficulty with regard to the proper prosecution of anatomical study in this country, and that, in consequence, a large number of British medical students are forced to prosecute or complete their studies in foreign hospitals or universities; whether this difficulty is mainly due to the inadequate supply of dead bodies for anatomical purposes; and whether he will consider appointing a Select Committee to inquire into the matter?
§ Sir A. MONDAlthough it is the case that, owing to the difficulty in obtaining subjects, British students have occasionally gone abroad to seek facilities for the study of anatomy in foreign schools, this state of affairs has now been remedied by the action taken by my predecessor. There is still a shortage in the case of certain provincial medical schools, but this is being remedied.
