§ Mr. MORRELLasked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether his attention has been called to the hardship that is caused to panel doctors by the continuous and progressive depletion of their practice during their absence on war service; and whether he is prepared to take any steps in the matter?
§ Sir EDWIN CORNWALLI am not aware of any general prevalence of the difficulty suggested in the question. Certain steps have already been taken by the Commissioners in regard to it—by means of Regulations of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy—in accordance with the suggestions made to them for the purpose by the medical profession.
