HC Deb 28 January 1963 vol 670 cc124-5W
Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Health to what extent he estimates that deaths from cancer of the cervix could be reduced by early diagnosis and treatment; and what steps he will take to encourage cervical smear testing of women over 30 years of age and to provide the necessary cytological facilities.

Mr. Powell

This procedure is being increasingly used but I am advised that it is premature to aim at general application.
