§ Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the numbers of physiotherapists engaged in hospitals in Scotland and Glasgow, respectively; and how many more are required in each case to maintain the establishment.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe numbers at 31st March, 1971, on a whole-time equivalent basis, were 646 and 160, respectively. There is no recognised establishment for physiotherapists on which to base an estimate of any shortfall.
§ Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to increase the supply of physiotherapists.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI am at present considering the possibility of increasing the number of training places available for physiotherapy students in Scotland.
