§ 93. Brigadier Medlicottasked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the delay which occurs in many cases before persons suffering from cancer seek proper medical attention; and if he will take steps to make it more widely known that valuable remedial measures can be taken in many instances if the disease is diagnosed in its early stages.
§ Mr. BevanI agree that the facts are as stated by the hon. Member. The Central Health Services Council has, however, recently advised that it is undesirable at the present time for any cancer publicity to be carried out by any central Government organisation direct to the general public.
