HC Deb 25 March 1974 vol 871 c55W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek powers to require that all county councils which employ health visitors provide them with cars.

Mr. William Ross

No. As from 1st April, health visitors employed by county councils will be transferred to the employment of health boards, which will assume responsibility for the functions of local health authorities. It will be for each health board to consider whether its health visitors should use cars and, if so, whether to provide cars for them.
