HC Deb 21 February 1935 vol 298 cc544-5W
Mr. G. GRIFFITHS

asked the Minister of Health whether he will issue an order that all diabetics, members of approved societies, who have run out of medical benefits under the health insurance of 1932 shall continue to have their insulin free, as it is a matter of life or death to them?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have no authority to issue such an order, but local authorities have power to provide insulin for persons in need of it who are unable to purchase it out of their own resources.
