HC Deb 05 February 1913 vol 47 c2185
10. Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked whether the Prudential Assurance Approved Society is advising its members not to select a doctor on the panel until they actually fall sick; and to what fund the money will be put which is thus saved in medical capitation fees?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am informed by the society referred to that there is no foundation for the suggestion in the first part of the question. On the contrary, in a circular letter of which I have received a copy they have issued instructions to all their agents to urge upon every member entitled to medical benefit the imperative need for promptly selecting the doctor they desire should attend them in case of illness.
