§ 39. Mr. Liptonasked the Minister of Health what consultations he is now having with the medical profession about the interim adjustment of pay for general practitioners.
§ Mr. VosperI have nothing to add to my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister's reply to the hon. Member's Question on 19th March.
§ Mr. LiptonIf no consultations are taking place and if arbitration is denied, how on earth is this problem being dealt with? How long is this policy of drift and shift to continue? Will the right hon. Gentleman take note of the fact that both The Times and the Daily Mirror consider that general practitioners have a legitimate grievance?
§ Mr. VosperMy right hon. Friend said he would make a statement in due course. Nothing has happened since 19th March to affect that position.
