HC Deb 09 February 1983 vol 36 c356W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if, in view of the number of academic posts that will have been frozen as a result of cuts in education expenditure, he is satisfied with the level and availability of the teaching of occupational health.

Mr. Waldegrave

My right hon. friend has no reason to believe that the present level and availability of teaching in occupational health is unsatisfactory. He recognises, however, that this is an area where teaching and research resources are thinly spread and that there may be scope for greater co-ordination and rationalisation. The University Grants Committee is keeping developments under review.
