§ 56. Mrs. L. Jegerasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the financial difficulties of doctors in the National Health Service who have to advance a trainee's monthly salary, for which they are reimbursed quarterly in arrear; and whether he will ask executive councils to make these refunds monthly in future.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithNo case of difficulty has come to my notice. Arrangements have recently been made for doctors to receive the main part of their remuneration monthly if they wish, and this should help to relieve any difficulties that may have arisen in the past.
