Minister Meets Chairmen of Executive CouncilsMr. Aneurin Bevan, Minister of Health, last week met

for the first time the chairmen of the 138 executive councilswhich have been set up under the National Health ServiceAct. Mr. Bevan said that the vast majority of doctors werecooperating in the effort to make the new service a success:A number of authenticated cases had, however, been broughtto his notice of doctors who were discriminating in selectingpatients or in the standards of amenities provided for publicand private patients ; he believed that only a very smallminority of doctors were behaving in this way. He hopedthat any cases which came to light would at once be

investigated by the local medical committees.
