§ Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he has taken following the report by Professor Macdonald's working party on dietitians in the National Health Service.
§ Mr. EnnalsThe report "Dietitians of the Future" was prepared in April 1975 by a working party appointed by the Dietitians Board established under the Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act, to review the future rôle and functions of dietitians and the education and training appropriate to them. The report's recommendations are primarily directed to the profession itself and the Dietitians Board, but my Department has taken note of those recommendations which have a bearing on the development of the dietetic service within the National Health Service.
