HC Deb 14 July 1995 vol 263 c821W
Mr. Stern

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make it his policy to provide statutory protection for the title "doctor" as used in the fields of medicine and the professions allied to medicine in order to distinguish between those medical practitioners who are legally entitled to use the term, and those for whom it is an honorific. [33476]

Mr. Malone

No. I am satisfied that the matter is adequately covered under section 49 of the Medical Act 1983.
