IX. — QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION. 1. By what stages has the conception developed of the State's duty to provide, as far as possible, for the health of all citizens? 2. How should preventive medicine be developed? 3. In what ways do the existing health services suffer from lack of co-ordination? 4. How far is the efficiency of the present health services limited by economic considerations? 5. What evidence is there that poverty is still the chief cause of ill-health? 6. From the patient's standpoint, in what ways will medical attention under the proposed Health Service be an improvement upon that obtainable under National Health Insurance? 7. Is there any truth in the claim that the proposed General Practitioner's Service destroys something of social value in the status of doctors? 8. Is there a case for prohibiting private practice altogether? 9. Do the White Paper proposals provide a satisfactory solution to the problem of unifying the hospital service? 10. Are there any other problems untouched or inadequately dealt with in the White Paper? X. — READING LIST. PAMPHLETS. A National Health Service. Cmd. 6502, H.M.S.O.
