HC Deb 13 July 1981 vol 8 c290W
Mr. Stallard

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many trained chiropodists are employed by each local authority; how many trained and untrained chiropodists, respectively, are employed on an agency basis within the area of each authority; and what numbers of full-time chiropodists each of these figures represent per 1,000 population.
