HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 c137W
68. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the shortage of medical and surgical equipment at hospitals throughout the country; and whether the equipment no longer required by the armed forces has been, or will be, made available at an early date.

Mr. Bevan

I know there is a shortage of some items. A start has already been made on the lines of the latter part of the Question.
