§ 23. Sir JOHN LONSDALEasked 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?

§ Sir J. LONSDALEIs 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?
§ Sir J. LONSDALEI will put down a question.
