§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what payments are made by the DHSS or the area or regional health authorities to general practitioners for the payment of wages of general practitioners' secretaries, clerks and receptionists.
§ Dr. OwenA scheme agreed in 1966 with the profession provides for 70 per cent. of the salaries actually paid to receptionists, clerks or secretaries to be reimbursed by the family practitioner committees on an individual basis to general practitioners. The other 30 per cent. is reimbursed on an averaged basis with other practice expenses through the fees and allowances at the rates recommended by the Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body.
