HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 c149W
44. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek to amend the Terms of Service for Medical Practitioners, National Health Service Regulations 1966, Part I, Schedule I, under which patients may be removed from a doctor's list without any reason being given.

Mr. Crossman

No. It is better for both patient and doctor to be free to make a change without giving a reason.
