52. Sir J. D. REES

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the Insurance Commissioners, whether any doctors in Great Britain have as many as 7,000 patients upon their panel?

54. Mr. F. WHYTE

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East if he will state what is the maximum number of insured persons on the list of any single panel doctor?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN (Lord of the Treasury)

The maximum number of insured persons on the list of any single doctor on the panel in Great Britain is 5,455.

Mr. F. WHYTE

Do the figures in the answer just given relate to the case of a single doctor working alone, or to a practitioner with one or more assistants?

Mr. W. BENN

The doctor in question is the only doctor on the panel in respect of these patients, and he has at least one assistant.
