§ 30. Mr. Peter Morrisonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she has made an estimate of the number of doctors and surgeons who will leave the health service as a result of the Government's decision to abolish pay beds in National Health Service hospitals.
§ Mrs. CastleI expect the result of discussion in the joint working party which is considering a new consultant contract and arrangements for private practice will be to make National Health Service work more, not less, attractive.
