Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Labour how many doctors are engaged full time in factories;how many are part time; and what is the number of appointed factory doctors.

Mr. Godber

My Department has no very recent figures of the numbers of doctors employed in factories. In February, 1963, our records showed that 339 factories employed doctors full-time and 3,722 factories employed doctors part-time. There are at present 1,542 appointed factory doctors for districts and 1,475 doctors appointed for specific purposes.
