HL Deb 03 April 1962 vol 239 c170WA
BARONESS WOOTTON OF ABINGER

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What percentage of the eligible population is registered with a general practitioner under the National Health Service.

LORD NEWTON

The names of patients on the lists of general practitioners in the National Health Service amount to about 101 per cent. of the population. This is because of patients who fail to notify on leaving the country or moving to other areas.

House adjourned at ten minutes before seven o'clock.
