HC Deb 28 February 1952 vol 496 c199W
153. Mr. R. E. Winterbottom

asked the Minister of Health if the provision of artificial limbs and surgical aids for those entering rehabilitation centres is affected by the charges recently announced.

Mr. Crookshank

There is no intention to introduce a charge for artificial limbs, for most surgical aids needed by the seriously disabled nor for any appliances supplied to patients who are resident in hospital rehabilitation centres.
