HC Deb 05 July 1965 vol 715 cc157-8W
Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the percentage increase in private medical practice over the last five years.

Mr. K. Robinson

I regret that the information is not available.

Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the estimated value of private practice for the last available year, and the allowance made for this private practice when calculating doctors' remuneration.

Mr. K. Robinson

No recent figure is available. It is for the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration to decide whether and if so how to take account of earnings from private prac- tice in recommending remuneration for work in the National Health Service.
