HC Deb 19 March 1969 vol 780 cc110-1W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he is taking to promote the training of medical administrators.

Mr. Ross

A scheme for the annual recruitment of up to three doctors for training in medical administration in the Scottish Hospital Service was introduced by my Department in 1966 with the support of regional hospital boards and of Edinburgh University. The programme of study covers three years and its principal objective is to provide training in the planning, co-ordination and evaluation of systems of medical care.
