HC Deb 12 July 1978 vol 953 c670W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many general medical practitioners there have been in each Welsh county in each of the last five years.

Mr. Alec Jones

The number of general medical practitioners providing a full range of general medical services during each of the past five years is shown in the table below.

the the reply which I gave on 26th June to my hon. Friend the Member for Cannock (Mr. Roberts)—[Vol. 952. c. 435–6.]

It is not possible to give a meaningful figure for the number of civil servants attached to the bodies concerned as many of them are not staffed by civil servants at all and in those cases where a secretariat is provided by civil servants, they often also have other duties.
