HC Deb 20 July 1959 vol 609 c73W
18. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the wastage occasioned by the loss of physio- and occupational therapists in the hospital service; and, with a view to overcoming the loss of personnel, if he will consider increasing the yearly increments so that those who are attracted to hospital service in the first place remain to make it their life's work.

Mr. Walker-Smith

A claim for increased salaries for physiotherapists and occupational therapists employed in the National Health service is now before the Health Services Professional and Technical "A" Whitley Council.
