HC Deb 28 February 1973 vol 851 c367W
41. Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the provision of facilities under the National Health Service for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis in Scotland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The provision of such facilities is a matter for individual regional hospital boards in the first place. Pressure exists in certain areas and steps are being taken by them to relieve this but, in general, the facilities available appear to match the known needs.
