HC Deb 12 April 1949 vol 463 c244W
Mr. Howard

asked the Minister of Health whether his regulations provide that a patient can recover the fees he has paid to a doctor, outside the National Health Scheme, who has been summoned in an emergency on account of the patient's registered practitioner being unable to attend.

Mr. Bevan

No, but they include arrangements for enabling a patient to receive treatment in an emergency from practitioners taking part in the National Health Service.
