HC Deb 29 June 1978 vol 952 cc659-60W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the number of part-time consultants who will enter into a full-time contract as a result of the abolition of pay beds.

Mr. Moyle

I do not expect any significant number of part-time consultants to change to full-time contracts as a result of the phasing out of pay beds from NHS hospitals.
