§ Dr. Wyndham Daviesasked the Minister of Health (1) what reply he has given to the 1,100 doctors represented by the Birmingham division of the British Medical Association who expressed their concern at the present state of general practice in a letter to him of 13th October, 1964;
(2) if he is aware that many of the family doctors mentioned in his letter of 13th November, 1964, are considering resignation from the present Health Service; and if he will take steps to avert these resignations.
§ Mr. RobinsonI fully recognise the importance of improving conditions of general practice. I am considering how best to state the Government's intentions and so allay fears which may be leading some general practitioners to consider resignation.
