HC Deb 24 April 1967 vol 745 cc218-9W
Mr. Heseltine

asked the Minister of Health how many doctors applied for the vocational training payment and had their application refused because they had not served as trainee practitioners.

Mr. K. Robinson

I regret that the information is not readily available; and since one of the agreed conditions for payment is that a doctor should have spent a period of recognised training in general practice I see no purpose in collecting it.
