§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received regarding the discrepancy in salaries for chiropody teaching staff; if he will undertake to remove any anomalies as soon as possible; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir George YoungI have received representations from the hon. Member and from one area health authority about differences in salaries between teaching staff in NHS chiropody schools and those employed in other institutions of higher and further education. In my replies I have made clear that the negotiation of salaries for NHS chiropodists, including teaching staff, are matters for the professional and technical A Whitley council.
