40. Sir J. D. REESasked the Minister of Health what the Government has decided in respect of placing the medical officers of institutions approved under Section 15 (4) of the National Insurance Act on the same footing as panel doctors in respect of War allowance for increased expenses without bringing their books under Government audit?
§ Dr. ADDISONI may refer my hon. Friend to the first part of the reply given on the 29th June to the hon. Member for Lincoln, and to the reply given on the 29th October, 1919, to the hon. Member for Nottingham West on this matter. I have just received a further letter from the Friendly Societies' Medical Alliance, which represents the great majority of these institutions, asking for a further interview on the subject, and this is being arranged.
