§ Mr. Alfred MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many orthotists there are in England; and how many orthotists there are in England per 100,000 people.
§ Mr. Mellor[holding answer 13 December 1988]: Most orthotists in England are employed by the private sector and we do not collect information on their numbers. Orthotists employed by the NHS in England are graded as medical physics technicians and are not identified separately on manpower returns.
