HC Deb 15 March 1984 vol 56 c243W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many consultant clinical geneticists are in post; where they are in post; and what proposals he has to extend this specialty.

Mr. John MacKay

At 30 September 1983, four consultant clinical geneticists were employed by the Lothian health board and two by the Greater Glasgow health board. No additional consultant posts are envisaged in the near future, but the Scottish senior registrar establishment provides for one training post in this specialty.
