HC Deb 24 June 1968 vol 767 c19W
Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Minister of Health how many trained technicians in cytology are employed in the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board area; and how many he estimates would be required in order that all women of 35 years and over could be screened at least once every five years.

Mr. K. Robinson

At 31st December, 1967, 73, equivalent to 39½ whole-time. The hospital authorities estimate that 49½ whole-time equivalent technicians would be required if all women of 35 years and over were to be screened at least once every five years.
