HC Deb 16 February 1943 vol 386 c1596
71. Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Minister of Health whether he will institute an inquiry into the origins and progress of ailments and diseases which commonly lead to amputations, with a view to early detection and curative treatment wherever possible?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Miss Horsbrugh)

Much research of the kind suggested has already been undertaken profitably or is in progress. If my hon. Friend will let me know what particular disabilities he has in mind, I will give him what information I can.
