HC Deb 25 May 1950 vol 475 c276W
100. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider including in the Health Service the establishment of special fertility clinics for the investigation of involuntary childlessness as suggested by the Biological and Medical Committee to the Royal Commission on Population.

102. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health how many fertility clinics are now operating; and what action he is taking to make these more available.

Mr. Bevan

In 1945, 27 special hospital clinics were in operation. No more recent figures are available; but this work is carried on at a number of other hospitals in addition to those special clinics, and this will be developed as circumstances permit.
