Mr. Barter
asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that hearing aid technicians employed full-time at National Health Service clinics are acting as part-time hearing aid salemen for private firms; and if he will examine the matter with a view to taking appropriate action.
Mr. Powell
One case of this kind has recently come to my notice. I have informed the hospital authority that such activities are inconsistent with employment as a hearing aid technician in the National Health Service and should cease.
