asked the Minister of Health, whether he is aware that the fee payable to doctors for the notification of infectious diseases under Section 145 of the Public Health Act, 1936, is limited to a maximum of 2s. 6d.; and whether, in view of the fact that the value of money has been more than halved since 1936, he will take steps forthwith to provide for an increase to a maximum of at least 5s.

This would require legislation for which I have no proposal at present.
