HC Deb 13 May 1966 vol 728 c128W
Mr. Heffer

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the salary increase of doctors in the Liverpool area, he will recommend them to discontinue the practice of charging for supplementary medical certificates.

Mr. K. Robinson

No. Charges for private certificates are a matter for the doctors themselves. My concern has been, in the interests both of patients and of doctors, to reduce the demand for such certificates, and I am continuing my efforts to that end.
