HC Deb 17 February 1958 vol 582 cc112-3W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Health what consideration has been given to the use of osteopathy under or in conjunction with the National Health Service; and, in view of the success that is resulting from treatment by this unconventional technique, if he will make a statement.

Mr. Walker-Smith

Osteopathic treatment may be given by registered medical practitioners under National Health Service arrangements. It is not my function to judge the merits of any form of therapy and I can only arrange for medical treatment to be given by or under the direction of registered medical practitioners.
