HC Deb 03 May 1965 vol 711 cc114-5W
52. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Health how many doctors were employed in hospitals in the Sheffield region at the latest available date; and what is the estimated number required for the year 1970.

Mr. K. Robinson

About 1,275 in terms of whole-time equivalents at 30th September, 1964. The number of posts in 1970 will depend on the manpower available and no useful estimate can be made at present.
