§ 56. Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Health how many complaints against general practitioners had been decided upon by the London Executive Council in the 12 months to the latest convenient date; and if he will state the number of cases where the complaint concerned a doctor deputising for another, and the number of cases where the complainant's case was upheld.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonSeventy-one in the year to 31st December, 1964. These involved not necessarily as the primary object of the complaint, 22 deputies who were themselves on the list and thus responsible to the Executive Council for their own acts and omissions and 21 who were not. A breach of the terms of service was found in five cases involving six deputies, two of them on the list.
