HC Deb 09 May 1961 vol 640 cc37-8W
Mr. Barter

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that hearing aid technicians employed full-time at National Health Service clinics are acting as part-time hearing aid salemen for private firms; and if he will examine the matter with a view to taking appropriate action.

Mr. Powell

One case of this kind has recently come to my notice. I have informed the hospital authority that such activities are inconsistent with employment as a hearing aid technician in the National Health Service and should cease.
