HC Deb 05 December 1955 vol 547 c3W
52. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to encourage group treatment for mental patients.

Mr. Iain Macleod

This form of treatment is widely used but as the decision as to the form of treatment to be given to any patient is a matter for the medical practitioner concerned I do not feel that I should encourage the use of any particular method.
