HC Deb 19 March 1913 vol 50 cc1031-2
64. Mr. WILLIAM EDWIN HARVEY

asked whether an insured person is bound to continue from year to year a patient of the panel doctor whom he originally selected, or whether he can change his doctor; and at what intervals he can make the change?

Mr. MASTERMAN

An insured person can change his doctor at the beginning of each year. If any question arises between him and his doctor the insurance committee may at any time, if they think it desirable after inquiry, arrange for him to be transferred to another practitioner on the panel. The insured person can also change at any time during the year if he and the doctor responsible for his treatment arrange by consent for a transfer to another doctor who is willing to accept him.
