HC Deb 05 December 1962 vol 668 c199W
Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is satisfied that the cancer registration and follow-up systems instituted in all Scottish regions in 1958 are now functioning effectively; whether the material and information on the treatment of this disease have now been analysed; and what conclusions have been come to.

Mr. Noble

Although some difficulties are still being encountered, this scheme is working effectively. Its full results will be apparent only after it has been in operation some time. Some preliminary analyses have already been made, but no conclusions can yet be drawn from them.
