Mr. Nairn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is yet able to announce the publication of the report of the Douglas Committee which has been inquiring into the prescribing of doctors in the National Health Service in Scotland.

Mr. Maclay

I have arranged for the Report to be published tomorrow, 21st April, and for a copy to be sent to all cent., 25 per cent., and 50 per cent., to contribute to the total budgeted revenue of £471 million in the year 1959–60.

Mr. Erroll

The figures are as follows:

general practitioners and hospital doctors in the National Health Service in Scotland. I have the recommendations under detailed examination and some of them will require consultation with the medical profession and other interested bodies.
