§ 67. Dame Irene Wardasked the Minister of Health which Regional Hospital Boards have expanded their laboratory facilities for the examination of smears in connection with cervical 237W cancer; why there is much discrepancy in the facilities provided between one area and another; and if he will take steps to remedy the situation.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonAll; speed of expansion depends on many factors which vary from one area to another; in a circular issued last October I asked hospital authorities to do their utmost to make good any remaining deficiencies in staff and accommodation which prevented their support of population screening.
