§ Mr. Thorneasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she is able to publish figures in respect of the number of dismissal from a doctor's list issued to patients by the area health authority for the Preston area.
§ Dr. OwenSince June 1974, 290 patients in Preston have been notified that their doctor has requested the removal of their names from his list. I am seeking further information about this from the Lancashire Family Practitioner Committee, and will write to my hon. Friend.
