§ Captain MURRAYasked what arrangements it is proposed to make to safeguard the interests of the country doctors in Scotland in regard to mileage allowance?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe method of distribution of the amount available for medical remuneration is largely a matter for the medical profession themselves and the Government would favourably consider any proposals which command the general support of the profession. I may add that the Regulations provide for the adoption of any method of remuneration which may be considered desirable for any county in Scotland where, owing to sparseness of population, difficulties of communication, or other special circumstances, the normal methods of remuneration appear to be unsuitable.
