HC Deb 19 November 1952 vol 507 c178W
Mr. Watkins

asked 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 Macleod

Chiropody 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.
