HC Deb 03 December 1984 vol 69 c77W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will agree to remunerate chairmen of the family practitioner committees soon to be created.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No.

Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what percentage of family medical practitioners he envisages will occupy the posts of family practitioner committee chairmen.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We have no percentage in mind. The calibre of people, including family practitioners, willing to serve as chairmen is high. We shall appoint the people best suited to the job.
