HC Deb 25 June 1956 vol 555 cc4-5W
59. Mr. Leavey

asked the Minister of Health whether he will make a statement on the recommendation of the Committee on the Medical Care of Epileptics that the epileptic colonies should become part of the National Health Service.

Mr. Turton

I do not propose to promote legislation for this purpose. I am, however, commending to regional hospital boards the Committee's alternative proposal that they should make contractual arrangements with the colonies for rehabilitation services.
