Mr. CHANCELLORasked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether the figures in respect of the final settlement of the remuneration due to doctors for the year 1915 has been furnished to all Insurance Committees; which Insurance Committees have distributed the moneys; when the practitioners who have not yet received the moneys due to them may expect payment; and whether he can do anything to expedite the settlement?
Mr. ROBERTSFigures enabling the final settlement for 1915 to be made have been furnished to all Insurance Committees in England, and in Scotland and Wales figures enabling further or final payments to be made have been, or will shortly be, furnished to Insurance Committees in those countries. I am unable to give the particulars asked for in the second part of the question without obtaining a return from all Insurance Committees, but if the hon. Member has in mind any particular case of delay I will make inquiries.
