HC Deb 19 November 1956 vol 560 c43W
12. Mr. T. Brown

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the growing need for chiropody treatment to be given to old people, if he will now bring forward amending legislation to the National Health Service Act, 1946, to make this possible.

Mr. Turton

Statutory powers are already in existence but the current financial situation makes it impossible for me to approve any extension of their use at the present time.
