HC Deb 17 April 1947 vol 436 cc46-7W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Health when he expects to be able to extend to all schoolchildren the benefit of the mobile X-ray units for detecting chest troubles at an early stage.

Mr. Bevan

Mass radiography is steadily increasing and will be extended to more children as apparatus and staff become available: but present experience suggests that it is of more value at school-leaving age than before.
