§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health whether the decision to pay a smaller fee for notifications of measles and whooping cough than the fee normally paid for notifications of other diseases, was come to after consulting any body representative of the medical profession; and whether it was agreed to by any such body?
§ Mr. ElliotI consulted the British Medical Association, who represented to me that the fee should be half-a-crown. In fixing the fee at one shilling, I had in mind the large number of notifications likely to be involved and the necessity for avoiding undue increases of public expenditure.
