§ Captain ELLISTONasked the Minister of Health whether he is prepared to bring pressure on those local authorities whose failure to adopt the recommendations of the Askwith memorandum on salaries of whole-time public health medical officers 1161W means denial of fair rates of superannuation to medical officers now approaching the age of retirement?
Sir H. YOUNGNo, Sir. I have no power to enforce these recommendations, but in those cases in which my approval is required to the appointment of a medical officer of health, it is my practice where necessary to call the special attention of the local authority to the recommendations.
