HC Deb 26 October 1972 vol 843 cc432-3W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of the forthcoming reorganisation of the National Health Service, he will now make a statement about the provision of a new grading structure for the remedial professions.

Sir K. Joseph

I understand the Whitley Council have been discussing changes in the present grading structure. As regards management arrangements for the reorganised National Health Service, including paramedical work, I have invited comments from interested bodies on proposals published on 5th September, 1972.

Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now announce the date of publication of the report of the Remedial Professions Committee.

Mr. Alison

The Committee on the Remedial Professions submitted a Statement of their views rather than a formal report. This was published on 10th February, 1972, and I am sending a copy to the hon. Member.
