Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Health the number of centres that have been approved by his Department for the purpose of artificial sun-ray treatment; how many applications have been made to his Department by local authorities during the previous two years for the approval of similar centres; and the names of the authorities?

Miss LAWRENCE

Since 1st April, 1930, the approval of my Department has not been necessary to the provision of these centres, except in cases where the centre is to be used for the treatment of tuberculosis and is to be provided in premises not previously approved for that purpose. The number of centres approved up to 1st April, 1931, was 269. The number of applications during the period of 60 years from the date when the advance is made.
