HC Deb 27 October 1949 vol 468 c183W
92. Mr. S. Shephard

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that children in Newark are waiting for periods of over nine months for the removal of their tonsils; and what steps he proposes to take to remedy this situation.

Mr. Bevan

Here, as elsewhere, tonsillectomies have been postponed while poliomyelitis is prevalent. They will be resumed when it is desirable to do so.
