Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Health what type of patients are allowed treatment by the chiropodist employed by the Glantawe Hospital Management Committee; and why this service cannot be extended to old-age pensioners certified to be requiring treatment.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodChiropody is provided for any hospital patients who need it as an ancillary to other forms of treatment. In present financial circumstances I should not feel justified in extending the scope of this service at the cost of public funds.
