§ 7. Mr. AYLESasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will give instructions that all medical officers of the Ministry who are on the list for visiting men who have made application for treatment shall have power to call upon men for whom they may have ordered treatment to visit them again at subsequent dates, without fresh application on the part of the patient, in order that the effect of the treatment may be ascertained and recorded?
Mr. ROBERTSI do not think my hon. Friend's suggestion could be adopted with advantage. Where treatment is being given, on the report of an examining medical officer, at a Ministry hospital or clinic, such treatment is continued for so long as the medical officer in charge may consider necessary without fresh application on the part of the man.
