HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 c232W
Mr. Braine

asked the Minister of Health what action he proposes to take to deal with the shortage of pharmacists in National Health Service hospitals.

Mr. K. Robinson

Salaries were substantially increased last year and the number of pharmacists has increased, but more are needed. Further steps to increase the attractions of a career in the hospital service are being considered with representatives of the profession.
