§ 57. Mr. Woodasked the Minister of Health when he intends to make the promised statements about points of weakness in staffing in the National Health Service, and the urgent remedies proposed for dealing with them.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonMy officers have discussed with regional hospital boards measures to improve the organisation of recruitment of various classes of hospital staff. I am proposing to expand the recruitment publicity undertaken by my Department and to give more assistance to boards in the organisation of local recruitment measures. Since last October many grades of staff whose pay had fallen seriously out of line have received substantial improvements in pay.
