HC Deb 01 July 1960 vol 625 c152W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health if he will review the arrangements for domiciliary visits by consultants; and if he will remove the present inequity between whole-time and part-time consultants by making the first eight consultations of whole-time consultants qualify for separate fees.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The terms of service referred to were agreed through Committee B of the Medical Whitley Council. I see no reason for proposing an alteration in this agreement which was reached after considering all the circumstances and in which no change is recommended by the Royal Commission on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration.
