§ Dr. Petersasked the Lord. President of the Council whether, having regard to paragraph 427 of the Beveridge Report, medical herbalists, osteopaths, naturopaths, homoeopaths and others, engaged in healing the sick, will be officially recognised and their patients permitted to receive treatment from them under the future medical service scheme?
§ Mr. E. BrownI have been asked to reply. The arrangements necessary for ensuring a comprehensive health service in the sense envisaged by Assumption B of Sir William Beveridge's Report are at present under consideration, and I am not yet in a position to make any further statement on the matter.
