CHANGING DOCTORS
AFTER consultation with the General Medical ServicesCommittee and the Executive Councils Association, theMinister of Health has decided to place some restriction onthe patient’s right to transfer immediately from one NationalHealth Service doctor to another. In future the patient,unless he has changed his address, must either obtain hispresent doctor’s consent in writing or else send his medicalcard to the local executive council together with a letter
notifying his intention to transfer. In the latter event thepatient will normally be able to choose a new doctor 14 daysafter the council has received the card and letter; but theactual date on which he can transfer will be stated by thecouncil when it returns his medical card. Patients who havemoved to a different address will still be able to transfer
immediately, by taking their medical card to the doctor oftheir choice. Details of the new arrangements are given incircular E.C.L. 98/50 and its appendix.
MIDWIVES UNDER THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE
IN the last two years the Central Midwives Board havebeen clearing their roll of the names of those who haveretired from practice, died, or failed to notify their wishto remain on it. There were 64,490 names on the registeron March 31, 1950-a fall of over 12,500 since the previousyear. Those who notified their intention to practise during1949, however, numbered 18,053, or 234 more than thenumber for 1948. The number practising has been risingsteadily since 1942 ; and the proportion trained under themodern system, which came into force in 1939, has nowrisen to nearly half. Over 70% of those practising in 1949were between the ages of 26 and 50-in other words theywere experienced midwives in the best years of their workinglives.

tried in Hertfordshire, with the board’s consent, and hasgiven good results. The report comments on the adminis-trative inconvenience of maternity services divided under"separate types of authority, each entrusted with powersand duties to operate a particular section of the service "-but it does not develop this theme.
MEDICAL DEFENCE UNION
AT the annual meeting of the Medical Defence Union onSept. 19 Mr. Ivor Back, in his first presidential address, saidthat though some thought that the increase in the subscriptionannounced last year would lead to a considerable loss of
membership, this fear had not been realised, and the member.ship figure stood at 34,500. The council was disturbedby the great increase in the number of complaints, some-times quite trivial, brought against doctors and dentistssince the National Health Service came into being. Whenthese complaints were heard by a medical and/or dentalservice committee, the respondent practitioner was notallowed to be represented by a solicitor or other paid advocate,though he might bring a colleague to advise and assist him.There was a division of opinion in the council as to whetherthis ruling acts to the detriment of the respondent or not,but the opinion was generally held that the chairman of allservice committees should be legally qualified, to ensure, asfar as possible, some uniformity of procedure. Meanwhilethe British Medical Association had brought forward proposalsfor improving the procedure of these committees and forshortening the time within which complaints may be lodged ;and these met with the approval of the M.D.U. Anothermatter which continued to cause concern to the union wasthat of death under anaesthesia, and during the past year aconference had been held with representatives of the RoyalColleges, the B.M.A. and the Association of Anaesthetists.The annual report, which was presented at the meeting,
showed that 2125 members sought the union’s assistance
during 1949, and 199 cases were passed to the solicitors.Of the 74 which were allegations of professional negligence,10 came to court and 8 were won. Probably the most note-worthy single event in which the union was able to help itsmembers during 1949 was the circular from the Ministry ofHealth to hospital boards drawing attention to the allegedright of these authorities, when sued by or on behalf of apatient for the alleged negligence on the part of their medicalstaff, to obtain an indemnity from the members of the staffconcerned. Two implications of this circular, the reportsays, are that the importance of membership of the unionis now greater than ever, and that members must take greatcare before they give a statement to the management of theirhospital on any matter of complaint by a patient, since anysuch statement may afterwards be used to their own detri-ment. " The golden rule for the future must be that a state-ment should not be made in a case of a complaint by a patient,if there is or appears to be the slightest possibility of litiga-tion, until the facts have been reported to the union and anyproposed statement approved."

Women Doctors for American ArmyAuthorisation has been given for women to be commissioned
in the Medical, Dental, Veterinary, and Medical Service
Corps Reserves of the U.S. Army and assigned to active
duty. They will be eligible for service in every type ofmilitary medical facility, with the exception of forwardmedical installations in combat zones. In making thisannouncement Major-General R. W. Bliss, the surgeon-general of the U.S. Army, said : "It has long been my
} opinion that restrictions upon the practice of medicine,dentistry, and other related specialties in the Army due,
solely to the sex of the individual are discriminatory. Weare happy, therefore, to be able to offer women Reservecommissions and to bring them on active duty as Reserve
r officers on the basis of exact equality with men in their respec.:. tive fields. But we shall not rest on this achievement. We,1 shall pursue every opportunity to extend this equality by the- enactment of legislation which will ultimately provide medical
women status in the Regular Army."
