§ 9. Mr. Nichollsasked the Minister of Labour if he will make it obligatory for medical boards to have cognisance of the medical history supplied by family doctors of men and women called for pre-service medical examination, who have required specialist treatment within six months of proposed call-up.
§ Mr. IsaacsAll men attending for medical examination under the National Service Acts are asked to give the medical board full details of their medical history and any certificates from general practitioners or consultants that a man may produce receive full consideration.
§ Mr. NichollsIf I hand the Minister particulars of a case where that was not carried out, will he look into it?
§ Mr. IsaacsYes, certainly. The question is whether it was not carried out through the man not producing the medical history or because attention was not given to it.
§ Mr. NichollsThrough the medical board refusing to take notice of it.
