HC Deb 07 May 1981 vol 4 c116W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked 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. Vaughan

The 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.
