HC Deb 07 March 1947 vol 434 c119W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Health whether, as women doctors, until recently, were conscripted in exactly the same way as men doctors for service in the Forces and received the same treatment in all respects, he will restore this source of recruitment to the Services in order to accelerate the present slow release rate of specialists.

Mr. Bevan

No, Sir. The Government de not feel justified in calling up women doctors, when no other women are being compulsorily recruited, but efforts are being made to obtain women specialists as volunteers.
