Mass Radiography (Hansard, 11 July 1946)

§ 7. Mr. Sidney Shephard
asked the Minister of Health when the Nottinghamshire County Council will be supplied with a mass radiography plant.

§ Mr. Key
I would remind the hon. Member of my right hon. Friend's general reply to him of 6th June last. My right hon. Friend cannot say at what dates each new unit becoming available will be allocated, but he will keep this county well in mind.

§ Mr. Shephard
Are these plants allocated on a population basis? If so, as this county has a population of over half a million, it should be entitled to early consideration.

§ Mr. Key
That will be a material factor in giving consideration to the allocation.

§ Mr. Beechman
Is it intended to issue them in each county?

§ Mr. Key
It is intended to issue them to give a general service to the country as a whole as soon as they become available.
