HC Deb 11 July 1966 vol 731 c149W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Health what are the duties of Her Majesty's Inspector of Anatomy; how many persons are employed in his department; and what is the cost to public funds.

Mr. K. Robinson

His duties are to advise me and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland on applications for licences to practise anatomy; to inspect places where anatomy is practised; and to keep records and make returns about the removal of bodies for anatomical examination and their subsequent interment. Two other persons are employed in his department; the total cost to public funds is about £6,600 per annum.
