Mrs. Jegerasked the Minister of Health what are the present facilities within the National Health Service for family planning advice and treatment; and why he does not propose to encourage a widening of existing facilities.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithThe present facilities are for advice and treatment where pregnancy would be detrimental to health. Help is also given in some areas to voluntary associations by making premises available. I do not consider that there is a sufficient case in present circumstances for seeking to widen these facilities.
