HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 c214W
67. Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied at the rate of recruitment into the ranks of chiropodists, dieticians, occupational therapists, orthoptists, physiotherapists, radiographers, remedial gymnasts and speech therapists, respectively, in the National Health Service; what plans he has to improve recruitment; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. John Dunwoody

Numbers in all these professions have been increasing, but any statement on future needs and plans must await the outcome of studies which have been undertaken of the work of these occupational groups.
