§ Mr. Winnickasked the Minister of Health what further progress has been made in providing facilities in the Croydon area to detect cancer of the cervix; and why Mayday Hospital is not now to be used for this purpose.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonA diagnostic service is available for all women with symptoms. A service for women at risk386W has started and will be extended as soon as possible. The provision of screening clinics for well women is a matter for the local authority and I understand that they are providing a clinic in existing local authority premises, not in the Mayday Hospital.
