HC Deb 05 May 1969 vol 783 c9W
54. Mr. William Wells

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he proposes to relieve the immediate shortage of doctors in the West Midlands.

Mr. Crossman

Special allowances are provided to encourage doctors to practise in certain under-doctored areas, in the West Midlands; and I shall continue, by financial and other means, to encourage the more efficient organisation of general practice.
