HC Deb 09 February 1970 vol 795 c244W
63. Mr. Channon

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the extent of the national shortage of radiographers; and what steps he proposes to take to rectify this shortage.

Dr. John Dunwoody

Hospital authorities are locally responsible for recruitment and do not notify vacancies centrally. To meet the need for more staff in this expanding field they have increased the total number of radiographers in post by 25 per cent. in the last five years.
