§ Mr. de Freitasasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction which exists in the County Hospital, Lincoln, and in hospitals generally because foreign-trained physiotherapists are paid only £425 per annum while British trained physiotherapists are receiving £462 10s. 0d. per annum; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TurtonYes. Guidance will shortly be issued to hospital authorities that foreign-trained physiotherapists employed as assistants in physiotherapy departments who are now paid at the rate of £425 a year should receive an increase of £37 10s. a year.
