HC Deb 21 December 1964 vol 704 cc172-3W
Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Health when he expects facilities to be available in Birmingham for the routine taking and examination of cervical smears.

Sir B. Stross

Hospital diagnostic facilities are expanding with specially trained staff becoming increasingly available, but it is too early yet to forecast a date for a routine service.

Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Health when he expects to provide, in connection with cervical smearing facilities, a diagnostic service at Coalville for women with symptoms.

Sir B. Stross

A diagnostic service for women with symptoms is provided at Leicester. It would be impracticable to provide such a service at Coalville.
