HC Deb 02 January 1913 vol 46 c529W
Earl WINTERTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps have been taken to secure medical attendance under the National Insurance Act for those entitled to it after 15th January in the administrative county of West Sussex?

Mr. MASTERMAN

A conference is now taking place with members of the insurance committee to determine the exact arrangements for the administration of medical benefit in this area.

Mr. RUPERT GWYNNE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many medical practitioners there are at present resident in the county of Sussex; and how many of them have accepted his invitation to place their names on the panels to serve under the National Health Insurance Act?

Mr. MASTERMAN

A conference is now taking place to receive reports from insurance committees as to the number of doctors who have declared their intention of serving on the panels. I hope it will be possible to publish the exact figures as regards the area mentioned in a few days.
