HC Deb 15 November 1945 vol 415 c2495W
Mr. Ayles

asked the Minister of Health what provision is made by his Department for research into the causes and cure of rheumatism.

Mr. Bevan

A number of universities and teaching hospitals have been approached to set up diagnostic and research centres for the study of rheumatic conditions. Progress has been slow because of the shortage of medical and nursing staff.
