HC Deb 07 December 1950 vol 482 c520
42. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that there is a serious lack of facilities for X-ray epilation in the North Riding of Yorkshire; and what steps he is taking to put this matter right.

Mr. Bevan

I am informed that the regional hospital board are considering extra facilities at Scarborough to supplement those now at York.

Mr. Turton

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the North Riding Education Committee, in their last report, said that there is a very great spate of ringworm in the schools in that area, owing to the lack of these facilities?

Mr. Bevan

I do not think that it is due to lack of these facilities.
