HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 c2013
Mr. BROUGHTON

(by Private Notice) asked whether, in order to prevent great difficulties arising by reason of the withdrawal of medical services in any area, insurance committees or other authorities responsible for the public health, will be allowed a right of appeal against the recent Order calling up medical men, similar to that accorded to individuals?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Macpherson)

Each individual affected by the Military Service Acts has got his right of appeal, and a doctor can appeal to a tribunal, who would refer his case to the Central Medical War Committee. The procedure as to the action, if any, which an insurance committee or other authority may take is now being discussed by the Departments concerned.
