HC Deb 31 July 1961 vol 645 c916
20. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health if a group practice which has had its initial application for an interest free loan limited to £1,000 can now make further application to a limit of £2,000 or 80 per cent. of the expenditure actually incurred.

Miss Pitt

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Pavitt

Will the hon. Lady tell us whether the Department is approaching those doctors who already have a £1,000 loan informing them of the new arrangements? Is she aware that there will be much satisfaction that the Ministry is continuing to press for group practices and co-operation in medicine?

Miss Pitt

The Department is approaching individually those doctors who have already made application.
