HC Deb 05 February 1931 vol 247 c2109
74. Mr. GRAHAM WHITE

asked the Minister of Health if he can now give an account of the results obtained at the British Red Cross clinic for rheumatic diseases at Peto Place; and if proposals to extend this work are under consideration?

Miss LAWRENCE

My right hon. Friend understands that there has been a steady and gratifying increase in the work of this Clinic. It would, however, be premature to attempt to assess the results obtained. Proposals made to my right hon. Friend for the extension of treatment of rheumatism will, of course, receive his careful consideration.

Mr. WHITE

Would the hon. Lady take such steps as may be open to her to acquaint local authorities with the results of this important and beneficent experiment, so that they may be encouraged to take similar steps?

Miss LAWRENCE

I have indicated that we should like to have a little more time to watch it.
