HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 cc541-2W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what is the average cost to those aged over 75 years, who wish to renew their licence to drive, of the annual medical check-up;

(2) whether he will take steps to ensure that National Health Service doctors undertaking medical checks on those aged over 75 years, who wish to renew their driving licences, is kept to a reasonable amount.

Mr. Moyle

The fee charged by doctors for providing certificates for elderly drivers is a private matter between

ing the staffing implications of the new role for St. Nicholas hospital and is consulting representatives of the staff. The authority has not yet reached final conclusions but is making every effort to minimise the effects on the staff of the change of use of this hospital.
