HC Deb 08 December 1964 vol 703 cc181-2W
Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Health what facilities for cervical smearing are available in Banbury, Birmingham, Coalville, Hinckley, Coventry, and Swindon.

Sir B. Stross

All except Coalville have a diagnostic service for women with symptoms. At Banbury and Swindon smears taken by general practitioners and at family planning clinics can be accepted for examination; elsewhere provision for routine screening is being or will be developed. The United Birmingham hospitals have provided one of the special training centres for pathologists and technicians.
