§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Minister of Pensions the number of shell-shock cases still being treated from the great war, 1914–18; what is the annual cost of such treatment; and whether any new remedies have recently been tried to cure shell shock?
§ Sir W. WomersleyI am advised that no cases which could, as such, properly be described as "shell shock" are now, or have indeed for many years been, under treatment by the Ministry. Shock and other war neuroses are fully dealt with in the report of a conference of neurological specialists convened by me last year, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
