HC Deb 27 June 1967 vol 749 c78W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

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 Scotland in each of the past five years.

Mr. Ross

The estimated average number of patients on the lists of doctors providing unrestricted general medical services was as follows:

1962 … … … 1979
1963 … … … 1983
1964 … … … 2000
1965 … … … 2039
1966 … … … 2067
(The figures relate to 1st July of each year and are inflated by up to 3 per cent. since it is not possible to elminate all duplicate entries from doctors' lists.)
