HC Deb 30 September 1941 vol 374 c487W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health whether his Department medical advisers have reported upon any other known cures for tuberculosis than sanatoria or alopathy treatment?

Mr. E. Brown

No, Sir.

Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health the number of sanatoria for tuberculosis available in the country, and what the number was for the past 10 years, showing each year separately; how many deaths have occurred from tuberculosis for these periods in the country generally, and in sanatoria, respectively; whether any statistics are possessed as to definite cures or of the disease being arrested sufficiently for resumption of work; and, if so, will he give them?

Mr. Brown

The information asked for by my hon. Friend will take some little time to compile and will require certain explanatory notes. I will send him the available particulars, with permission, at the earliest opportunity.
