HC Deb 17 May 1976 vol 911 cc412-3W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he can give any indication of the number of student teachers of physiotherapy who are expected to start training in September 1976.

Mr. Ennals

I am advised that 10 student teachers of physiotherapy have so tar applied to take up training in September 1976. Further applications may be received at any time before the course commences.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will reconsider his decision not to ask Whitley Council A to review the pay levels of teachers of physiotherapy, in view of the sharp drop in the number of student teachers of physiotherapy who started training in September 1975.

Mr. Ennals

No. There is nothing I can add to the reply given to the hon. Member for Oswestry (Mr. Biffen) on 11th December 1975.—[Vol. 902, c.329.] I am continuing to keep the situation under careful review.
