HC Deb 25 June 1940 vol 362 cc312-3W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health when and how all general medical practitioners in London over the age of 35 years were given an opportunity of applying for an appointment to conduct medical examinations at time of evacuation; and who determined, and what constituted the national commitment which precluded certain, doctors from being permitted to apply?

Mr. M. MacDonald

At the request of the London County Council the Central Medical War Committee issued a circular on the 21st March to all general practitioners in the administrative county of London, excluding practitioners attached to first-aid posts, appointed to medical boards, or rendering service under the emergency medical service.
