HC Deb 02 April 1974 vol 871 c313W
56. Mr. Bryan Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what percentage of doctors, nurses, radiographers and physiotherapists employed in National Health Service hospitals in the Greater London area are supplied by agencies.

Dr. Owen

Figures for the Greater London area are not available, but in the four former London metropolitan regions the London teaching hospitals about 8 per cent. qualified nurses and 10 per cent. of radiographers were supplied by agencies. Very few doctors and physiotherapists are employed through agencies.
