HC Deb 14 March 1955 vol 538 c99W
59. Mr. Boardman

asked the Minister of Health the number of surgeons in the Manchester Region exclusively employed on thoracic surgery per head of population; and how these figures compare with those for other regions.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Four, representing 0.91 per million of the estimated population. The figure is lower than that of neighbouring regions and the national average, and the regional board is—I understand—arranging to improve the situation.
