§ 78. Dr. Barnett Strossasked the Minister of Health whether he will cause the conditions of pleurisy, phlyctenuler conjunctivitis and erythema modosum to be made subject to provisional notification, in order to assist in the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis.
§ Mr. BevanThe desirability of bringing the conditions mentioned to the attention of the tuberculosis service is recognised, but I am advised that this would not be achieved simply by instituting a procedure of notification. The important thing is that general practitioners should be fully aware of the significance of these250W conditions in relation to tuberculosis, and should encourage recourse to the specialist facilities of the tuberculosis service whenever they are met with. I am considering what I can do to help in this.
