§ Mr. Adam Hunterasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will draw the need for improvement in the foot treatment services, particularly for old people in Scotland, to the attention of the Council for Supplementary Services, and take steps to remedy the situation in which there are more unregistered chiropodists than state registered chiropodists.
§ Mr. RossI am aware of the importance of the chiropody services provided by local health authorities especially for the elderly; but I am not clear exactly how the Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine, whose function is to maintain standards of registration, could help in this matter.
