§ 18. Mr. Chetwyndasked the Under-secretary of State for Air whether he will give recognition to pharmacy as a distinct branch of the medical service in the Royal Air Force.
§ Mr. ChetwyndIs the Minister satisfied with the training and status of people in this branch of the Royal Air Force?
Mr. WardYes, Sir. The medical technician branch have places for such few officers as we need who are skilled in pharmacy, and also plays a part within the service as an outlet for airman dispensers.
§ Mr. ChetwyndWill the hon. Gentleman be prepared to reopen discussions with the Pharmaceutical Society?
Mr. WardI understand that we have discussed this matter with them for a number of years, and I do not think it would serve a useful purpose.
