§ Mr. WHITEasked the Minister of Health the number of women doctors now employed as regional medical officers for national health insurance, and also by whom the regional medical officers are appointed and paid?
§ Sir K. WOODAt present two of the doctors employed in the work of the regional medical staff are women. Regional medical officers are appointed by me and their emoluments are borne on the Ministry of Health Vote, but the bulk of the cost is recovered from the approved societies as an appropriation-in-aid.
