HC Deb 14 November 1950 vol 480 cc143-4W
102. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the committee appointed by the National Health Service Council in July, 1948, to inquire into the high incidence of tuberculosis in Scotland has come to any findings; and if these are to be published.

Miss Herbison

I understand that this report will be presented to the Scottish Health Services Council at their meeting next month. The Council will then have to consider whether they should forward it to my right hon. Friend, and the question of publication will only then arise.

103. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any report to make on the visit of his two officials to Switzerland for the purpose of inquiring into the treatment of tuberculosis.

Miss Herbison

Their report was received only this morning, but I understand it is sufficiently encouraging to justify a further visit by clinical experts, arrangements for which are being put in hand.
