HC Deb 13 December 1966 vol 738 c61W
Mr. MacArthur

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the average number of patients on the lists of doctors providing full general medical services in October, 1964, October, 1965, and October, 1966, respectively.

Mr. Ross

2,005, 2,049 and 2,083, respectively. These figures are inflated by about 3 per cent. since it is not possible to eliminate all duplicate entries from doctors' lists.
