HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 c137W
65. Mr. G. Wallace

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the acute position that will be created in Hartley, Kent, and outlying areas, by the call-up to the Forces of Dr. J. L. Jenman; and if he will take steps to have the call-up of this medical practitioner cancelled.

Mr. Bevan

The Central Medical War Committee, who were aware of all the circumstances, recommended that this young practitioner should be called up. While appreciating the difficulties, I do not feel justified in disturbing their recommendation; but, as my hon. Friend is aware, I have arranged for the call-up to be postponed to allow time for other arrangements to be made.
