HC Deb 07 May 1940 vol 360 c1057W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the preparation of a scheme for a State medical service for all citizens to operate after the war; and whether, in this connection, he will consult the British Medical Association, the Medical Practitioners' Union, the Medical Women's Federation and the Medical Officers of Health Association, and appoint a departmental committee to inquire into the circumstances connected therewith?

Mr. Elliot

I do not think that the present time is opportune for consideration as suggested.
