HC Deb 10 February 1949 vol 461 c92W
83. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Cheltenham General Eye and Children's Hospital is unable to obtain any X-ray films; that this is causing hardship to the large number of patients requiring treatment; and if he will take steps to make them available.

Mr. Bevan

As explained by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade on 20th January last, there have been difficulties owing to the increased demand for X-ray film but we are doing all we can to improve the position and increased supplies should be available this year. The Cheltenham Hospital is getting more film than they got a year ago, but their demands have doubled.
