§ 4. Dr. Haden Guestasked the Minister of Health whether he has any statement to make regarding the investigation now being made into the complaints of the conditions of panel doctors' surgeries?
§ Mr. BernaysNo complaints of the conditions of panel doctors' surgeries are at present before my right hon. Friend. No investigation, therefore, of the nature indicated is being made by him nor is he aware of any need for such an investigation.
Dr. GuestIs the hon. Gentleman aware that it has been suggested that mass complaints with regard to the conditions of panel doctors' surgeries have been made, and is there any truth in that statement?
§ Mr. BernaysMy attention has been drawn to that statement, and I am very glad that the hon. Gentleman has put down a question which enabled me to deny it categorically.
