HC Deb 25 January 1951 vol 483 c40W
34. Dr. Hill

asked the Minister of Health why the National Health Service does not provide for the renewal of an appliance needed by a British taxpayer who is temporarily abroad in the employ of the Colonial Development Corporation, although the appliance would be provided under the service were he in this country.

Mr. Marquand

The authority given by the National Health Service Acts to provide services does not extend to persons abroad.
