§ Dr. Summerskillasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the recent survey of women doctors showing that many of them might be willing to take on part-time work; and what measures he proposes to enable these doctors to enter or return to general practice.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonYes, I am aware of this very helpful survey, and I understand that through professional channels the names of the doctors concerned are being brought to the attention of general practitioners who may welcome part-time 83W help. Arrangements are being made whereby any doctors who have been away from medical work in this country for three years or more, either because of home ties or absence abroad, should he able to obtain suitable refresher training, for which fees and expenses within agreed limits will be paid.
