§ Mr. N. Macphersonasked the Minister of Health what institutions in England and Wales are being financed under the National Health Services Act, 1946, to carry out cancer research; and what is the total estimated cost for the present half-year.
§ Mr. BevanThis research is being carried out at many hospitals now in the National Health Service, such as the Royal Cancer, the Christie Hospital and others. I am afraid I cannot differentiate research from treatment financially. The hon. Member will remember that research supported by public funds is also in the hands of the Medical Research Council112W and there are voluntary funds such as the Imperial Cancer Research Fund and the British Empire Cancer Campaign.
