HC Deb 21 February 1955 vol 537 cc105-6W
74. Mr. Remnant

asked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied with present attendance at the mobile radiography units; and how far the resultant tuberculosis diagnoses are showing an increase.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Yes; the service has steadily expanded and units are doing very fine work; they examined more than three million people last year. The proportion of people examined who are found to have active tuberculosis shows a fairly steady decrease.
