HC Deb 20 December 1965 vol 722 c357W
48. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Health if he will set up a working party to recommend changes in the National Health Service to ensure that it is primarily a preventive rather than a disease-curing service.

Mr. K. Robinson

I am well aware of the importance of preventive medicine and am seeking to develop it wherever possible in the National Health Service, but I do not think that the appointment of a working party would assist.
