HC Deb 01 November 1965 vol 718 cc112-3W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Minister of Labour what steps he has now taken to set up an Occupational Health Service.

Mr. Gunter

My Industrial Health Advisory Committee will be considering the report of its Sub-Committee on the Appointed Factory Doctor Service when it meets later this month. In addition, the Committee is reviewing policy on industrial hygiene, and the Factory Inspectorate is carrying out a sample survey of all factories to establish the size of the need for industrial hygiene services. I hope that these two reviews will provide a sound basis for the further development of Government services to safeguard health at work.
