§ Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications how many raids there have been on post offices in Northern Ireland in each month during the current year; and what was the total amount taken in these raids.
§ Mr. ChatawayThe Post Office tells me that there were no raids in the first three months of 1971. For the rest of the year to date the information is as follows:
group to ascertain how many junior hospital doctors were given a medical examination before appointment and the amount of fees for this service paid by the appointing authority.
§ Mr. AlisonSuch a check at one large hospital, selected at random, has shown that all the 61 doctors in post on 1st October, 1971, in the grades of senior registrar and below were medically examined on taking up their present appointments. No fees were paid for the examinations, which were carried out by the hospital's own medical staff as part of their duties.
