§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health whether the members of the co-ordinating committee for the county of Kent receive any remuneration or expense allowance; and, if so, how much and by whom it is paid?
§ Mr. ElliotI am informed that the members of the co-ordinating committee for the county of Kent receive no remuneration or allowance for expenses.
§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health why a co-ordinating committee was appointed for the county of Kent, since no similar committee is deemed necessary elsewhere; and is he satisfied that this will not cause a waste of professional time?
§ Mr. ElliotI understand that the co-ordinating committee was formed because1058W the several local medical war committees in Kent considered it desirable to have one fund for the whole county for the remuneration of doctors giving treatment to unaccompanied evacuated children. The matter is purely one of local arrangement between the doctors concerned, but I have no reason to suppose that the arrangement causes any waste of professional time.
