HC Deb 21 January 1941 vol 368 c48W
Dr. Morgan

asked the Minister of Health whether he will cause the complaint of medical practitioners attached to the emergency hospital and air-raid precautions services that there is a multiplication of control, which tends to militate against efficiency and expedition, to be investigated; and, if it is justified, institute the necessary reforms?

Mr. MacDonald

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave the hon. Member for Stratford (Mr. Groves) on 19th November on this subject. If the hon. Member has any other aspect of control in mind and will let me have particulars I shall be happy to consider the matter.

Dr. Morgan

asked the Minister of Health whether ambulances maintained as part of local air-raid precautions schemes would be available for the transport of Home Guards who might become casualties while on duty; and whether such casualties can be admitted to Emergency Medical Service hospitals without charge?

Mr. M. MacDonald

The answer to both parts of the Question is in the affirmative.
