HC Deb 01 July 1964 vol 697 cc253-4W
Mr. Tiley

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to implement the report of the Lycett Green Committee; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Barber

I accept generally the main recommendations of this Committee which are designed to ensure more effective co-ordination of the making of appointments and of staff training and movement. I propose to consider the detailed recommendations and their implementation in consultation with the National Staff Committee when it is set up.

Mr. A. V. Martin, C.B.E., Chairman of the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board, has accepted my invitation to become Chairman of the National Staff Committee, and I hope to appoint the other members shortly.
