HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 cc590-1W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent the radiotherapy departments in hospitals in the city and county of Leicester are understaffed at present.

Dr. Owen

Eleven staff are employed in the radiotherapy departments and 54 staff—including students—in the dianostic radiotherapy departments managed by the Leicester Area Health Authority. I understand that the authority would like to employ one additional member of staff in the former and 10 additional staff in the latter.
