§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health (1) whether he will take steps to allay the disquiet and anxiety of general practitioners who have received no communications from their medical officers of health concerning the assistance which they might be best able to give, or might be asked to give in emergency;
1181W(2) whether he will instruct medical officers of health to ascertain the numbers and particular abilities of general practitioners in their areas; if, in case of serious emergency, these practitioners will be available for service; and at what addresses they are then likely to be found?
Mr. MacDonaldI would refer the hon. Member to the replies which I gave to him and to my hon. Friend the Member for Edge Hill (Mr. Critchley) on this subject on 2nd July.
