§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement upon his discussions with community health physicians with regard to their employment following the proposed administrative changes; and whether they will be able to continue in their posts with a change of title or will be required to re-apply for posts they now occupy.
§ Dr. VaughanThe arrangements for filling management posts in the new district health authorities are the subject of negotiation in the General Whitley Council, whose staff side includes a representative of community physicians. I hope that agreement will be reached shortly.
