HC Deb 18 October 1949 vol 468 c22W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Health under what sanctions executive councils are subjecting medical practitioners in the National Health Service to a heavy tax upon their payments from the service if they refuse to undertake a large panel as in a case submitted to him.

Mr. Bevan

The regulations governing the remuneration of general practitioners provide for the adjustment of remuneration in the case of a practitioner who is exempted from the liability of having persons assigned to him and is relieved of obligations for emergency night calls in respect of persons not on his list. There is nothing to stop a practitioner limiting his list without applying for these exemptions.
