§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will 205W take steps to allow the public and the press to attend meetings of the family practitioner committees.
§ Dr. VaughanMany family practitioner committees already admit the press and public to those parts of their meetings which do not deal with confidential matters relating to individual patients arid practitioners. I should like to see all family practitioner committees do so because I feel sure the sweeping away of unnecessary secrecy will improve relationships between the public and the National Health Service. I am sure this can most sensibly be achieved by local arrangement.
