§ 80. Mr. van Straubenzeeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the estimated shortage of medical teaching staff in hospitals.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI am not aware of any general shortage of teaching staff in the clinical medical schools. The University Grants Committee's Annual Survey for 1966–67 (Cmnd. 3510) shows that in clinical medicine the ratio of full time staff to student units is 1:5.9.
