HC Deb 11 May 1944 vol 399 cc2098-9W
Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to ensure that medical officers, either prisoners of war or serving in the Forces, are given full opportunity of expressing their opinions on the proposed new health service.

Mr. Willink

The British Medical Association, with the co-operation of the Service Departments, have sent copies of the White Paper—provided by my Department—to all doctors normally domiciled in this country who are serving in the Forces or are prisoners-of-war. They have invited the opinion of these doctors on the proposals, and any views received will be collated and the results made available in the discussions which I shall be having with the profession's representatives.
