HC Deb 25 March 1948 vol 448 cc346-7W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health if he has issued any advice to local authorities as to how payments should be made to medical practitioners for the performance of vaccinations and other similar immunising operations under the National Health Service Act, whether by fees, or whether by treating them as forming part of the general medical services to be rendered by practitioners accepting service under the Act.

Mr. Bevan

Fees will be payable to general practitioners in this respect for sending records to local health authorities. If the person inoculated is not one to whom the doctor is providing general medical service under the Act and the inoculation is arranged by the local health authority under Section 26 of the Act, the fee will include payment for doing the inoculation.
