HC Deb 20 July 1959 vol 609 c74W
27. Mr. Simmons

asked the Minister of Health the waiting period for major repairs on artificial limbs for the war disabled and civilian amputees, respectively.

Mr. R. Thompson

In the first half of 1959 the average waiting time for major repairs was about eighty days. Separate figures for major repairs for war disabled amputees and National Health Service patients are not available, but priority is given to the former.
