HC Deb 01 April 1913 vol 51 cc210-1
73. Mr. WARDLE

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider the advisability of permitting a choice of doctors to postal employés from the panel in the various districts as approved by the National Insurance Commissioners?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

Post Office employés who are insured persons may, if they so desire, select as their medical attendant any doctor on the local panel. I see no reason for making any change in the rule that uninsured Post Office servants who are granted free medical attendance should receive it at the hands of the Post Office medical officer.
