HC Deb 29 April 1975 vol 891 c82W
42. Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients have been struck off the NHS panels of general practitioners for ideological reasons in the past five years.

Dr. Owen

Since under existing regulations no reason need be given either by a doctor requesting the removal of a patient's name from his list, or by a patient who wishes to transfer to another doctor, the information requested is not available.
