§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether patients are required to verify night visits by doctors by signing form FP81; and whether there has been any recent change in this practice.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergA patient is no longer required to sign form FP81. Family practitioner committees were notified in November 1981 that the requirement had been discontinued. With the agreement of the representatives of the profession, the authenticity of the forms is now subject to random checks by family practitioner committees.
