Mr. Jenkinsasked the Minister of Health whether he can state the number of patients during the past 10 years who have received treatment more than once in the institutions of the Welsh Memorial Association; and whether there is any scheme in existence by which discharged patients can be given after-care treatment?
§ Sir K. WoodI have requested the Welsh National Memorial Association to furnish me with the information asked for in the first part of the question, and I will let the hon. Member have the figures as soon as they are received. As regards the second part of the question, I understand that tuberculosis care committees have been established in six counties and one county borough in Wales. I have recently asked all the county and county borough councils in Wales to give their early and careful attention to the question of provision for after-care, and a report will be made to me by the Welsh Board of Health in due course.
