§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Health what action he proposes to take to reimburse general practitioners in cases where they have given vaccinations on the understanding that a payment of 5s. per vaccination would be made for 154W all categories of patient, only to find that no payment or payments for restricted categories will be made.
§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Health what recent change has been made in the position whereby local health authorities pays a fee of 5s. to a general practitioner in respect of each vaccination notified; and if he will make a statement.
§ Miss PittThere has been no change. Subject to any general requirements, each local health authority decides the categories of vaccination for which it asks general practitioners to supply individual records. A fee of 5s. is payable by the authority for each such record.
§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Health whether the sums deducted from the general practitioners' central pool in respect of fees received from local health authorities are refunded to those authorities making the original payments.
