§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health the various sources, other than local medical war committees, and the other medical organisations and channels of communication from which the Central Medical War Committee obtains information for the maintenance of the National Register of the Medical Profession; what efforts the local medical war committees make to keep their local registers up to date; and why it was necessary to advertise for information concerning a large number of missing medical practitioners in the "British Medical Journal"?
§ Mr. E. BrownI cannot state all the sources from which the Central Medical War Committee and local medical war committees, in the course of their day to day operations, obtain material for correction to the registers, but I may instance notifications of appointments in the Emergency Medical Service and other services made by my Department and by other employing authorities and notifications of new registrations and changes of address obtained from the General Medical Council. The notice in the "British Medical Journal" referred to in the last part of the Question was inserted in order to seek information about a number of practitioners with whom the Central Medical War Commtitee had lost touch in spite of the normal machinery for keeping the records up to date.
