HC Deb 02 March 1976 vol 906 c532W
Dr. Vaughan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the total number of medical and ancillary staff including nursing staff she expects to send overseas; and if she will give the numbers for each category of staff.

Dr. Owen

The numbers of doctors, nurses and other staff who may be needed to support our industrial export effort in the health field will depend on how successful we are in obtaining for the United Kingdom a share of this important international market. Numbers will however be very small in relation to total National Health Service staff.
