HC Deb 14 April 1913 vol 51 cc1607-8
23. Sir JOHN LONSDALE

asked in how many counties and county boroughs in Ireland have panels of doctors been formed for the purpose of granting to insured persons the medical certificates which are required before sickness or sanatorium benefit can be obtained, and in how many counties and county boroughs have panels not been formed?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I understand from the Irish Insurance Commissioners that names of doctors are still being received, and that the question is being considered at the Advisory Committee to-morrow. The Commissioners will communicate with the hon. Baronet.

Sir J. LONSDALE

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the Irish Insurance Commissioners issued circulars stating that panels of doctors have been formed in each county and county borough and can he explain how obviously inaccurate a statement as that got circulated?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I must ask for notice.

Sir J. LONSDALE

I will put down a question.
