HC Deb 17 May 1971 vol 817 c197W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the ratio of general medical practitioners to patients in Wales and the Mynyddislwyn Urban District Council area, respectively.

Mr. Peter Thomas

At 1st October, 1970, the latest date for which firm figures are available for the whole of Wales, the ratio of general medical practitioners to patients in Wales was 1:2,192 and for the Mynyddislwyn U.D.C. area was then estimated to be 1: 2,590. The resignation of a doctor recently has currently increased the number of patients per doctor there.
