§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Health, if he is aware of the continuing shortage of National Health Service general practitioners in England and Wales; and whether recent statistics show any improvement.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonYes, but there are already welcome signs of improvement. Whereas over the two years to 1st October, 1966, the number of general practitioners providing full services fell by 402 to 19,844, in the following six months to 1st April, 1967, the number rose by 31.
