HC Deb 26 May 1939 vol 347 c2678
4. Dr. Haden Guest

asked 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. Bernays

No 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. Guest

Is 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. Bernays

My 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.
