§ 60. Mr. Chapmanasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the history in the treatment of Miss J. Higginson, 7, Milcote Road, Birmingham, 29, about which he has been in correspondence with the hon. Member for the Northfield Division of Birmingham, and of the distress of her parents, he will now arrange for an independent specialist to examine this child and advise as to further treatment.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI am well aware of this distressing case. If the parents feel, as I understand they do, that a further specialist opinion is desirable, the normal way to secure this is through their family doctor; but I am only too willing lo help in any way I properly can, and I will 782 certainly look into this again to see if there is anything more which I can do.
