§ Mr. Macdonaldasked the Minister of Health (1) whether he has yet constituted a Working Party to study the organisation of hospital pharmaceutical services, as required in circular HM(67)79; and when he expects to receive the report of that Working Party;
(2) what progress has been made by the Sub-Committee of the Whitley Council, set up following circular HM(67)79, to study the salary and career structure and promotion prospects of the pharmaceutical service.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI expect to announce the membership of the Working Party shortly, but I cannot say when the report will be ready. The Sub-Committee of the Whitley Council which is studying career structure has held three meetings and will co-operate closely with the Working Party.
