HC Deb 04 May 1950 vol 474 c1880
19. Mr. Leslie Hale

asked the Minister of Health whether he is prepared to make provision out of the National Health Service for the experimental treatment of sufferers from disseminated sclerosis and paralysis agitans.

The Minister of Health (Mr. Aneurin Bevan)

This is already being done.

Mr. Hale

If it is being done, would my right hon. Friend extend that possibility to certain forms of treatment I have in mind and would it not be a very good thing indeed for a full investigation to be made of the claims that are being made in this matter?

Mr. Bevan

As my hon. Friend will remember, as soon as I heard about it I sent to investigate the claims of a German doctor, but those claims have not yet been fully assessed. They are in process of being assessed.
