HC Deb 17 February 1965 vol 706 c221W
40. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he last received a claim for an increase in payments to pharmacists in the National Health Service; whether the Whitley Council will consider comparable earnings in private commerce or industry in assessing rewards; and how long this consideration is expected to take.

Mr. Ross

A claim for an increase in payments to pharmacists in the National Health Service was submitted on 24th September, 1964. The claim is at present under consideration by the Whitley Council who will take account of comparable earnings in private commerce or industry, together with other relevant factors. There will be no avoidable delay in dealing with the claim.
