§ Sir JAMES YOXALLasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether persons 1885W insured under the National Insurance Act, 1911, may choose and receive medical treatment other than that practised by panel doctors, as, for example, treatment by herbalists; and, if so, whether it is within the power of a local insurance committee to forbid this?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThere is no provision in the Regulations dealing specially with these cases, but, subject to the conditions therein prescribed, it is open to an insurance committee to allow insured persons to make their own arrangements, instead of receiving medical treatment from a duly qualified medical practitioner on the panel.
