§ Mr. Mike Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many specialists in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics are employed by the National Health Service; in which hospitals; and at what grades.
§ Dr. OwenAt 30th September 1975 there were 14 consultants, seven senior registrars, and three registrars employed by the National Health Service in England and Wales in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. Information on hospitals at which specialists are employed is not collected centrally. Information on the regions in which specialists are employed is collected but is not yet available for 1975. I will write to my hon. Friend with this information when it is available.
