BRITISH DOCTORS
Position Under New Health Service MEASURE OF REGULATION Rec. 10.30 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 6. The Government's plans for a national health service could not leave entirely unregulated the future exchange of medical practices or the creation of new practices, said the Minister of Health, Mr. Aneurin Bevan, in the House of Commons. The Government thought it should give a warning that it would probably be taking steps to secure the proper distribution of doctors for the public need. There would be an appropriate measure of compensa. tion to doctors for any loss of capital value directly caused by the new arrangements. "I have reason to believe that the best elements in the profession regard the sale and purchase of practices as extremely undesirable," said Mr. Bevan. "They will be very glad indeed that I am about to discuss with them the steps to be taken."
