HC Deb 02 February 1987 vol 109 cc546-7W
Mr. Rowe

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many members of (a) regional health authorities and (b) district health authorities have professional qualifications in (i) nursing, (ii) medicine, (iii) dentistry, (iv) speech therapy and (v) physiotherapy.

Mrs. Currie

Each regional health authority and each district health authority includes a hospital consultant, a general medical practitioner and a nurse, midwife or health visitor. Other members may also have these or other professional qualifications but this would not necessarily be known to us.
