§ 36. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Minister of Health the regulations whereby panel doctors are forbidden to give certain medical treatment to panel patients which would be given to private paying patients and which treatments are in general use in private medical practice; and what are the reasons for this prohibition?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI am not aware of any such regulations as my hon. and gallant Friend mentions. Insurance practitioners are required in all ordinary cases to give to their patients all proper and necessary medical services other than those involving the application of such special skill and experience as is not to be expected of general practitioners as a class and to order or supply such drugs and prescribed appliances as are requisite for the treatment of any patient.
