§ Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many chiropodists retired from full-time National Health Service service for each of the last three years.
§ Mr. EnnalsI regret that this information is not available centrally.
§ Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the annual output of chiropodists from the new chiropody schools at Durham and at Huddersfield; and how many come to work for the National Health Service full-time.
§ Mr. EnnalsThe first output of students from the Durham school, which opened in 1975 with the full approved intake of 16 students, will be this autumn. The new school at Huddersfield will open this September with an initial intake of 15 students; the first output will be in 1981. It is too soon to say how many of those qualifying will seek full-time National Health Service employment.
