HC Deb 13 November 1992 vol 213 c991W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has to ensure the maintenance of the role and number of clinical scientists following the establishment of the hospital trusts.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

NHS trusts are required to follow Government policy on employing appropriately qualified staff in delivering health care services and the importance of clinical scientists is well recognised. It is intended that future training activity in this and other groups should be related to forecast service requirements.
