Mr. William Hamilton
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many gynaecologists were serving in the National Health Service in 1965, 1970 and 1975; and what is the figure currently.
Mr. Fairgrieve
It is not possible to differentiate between gynaecologists and obstetricians, since the medical staffing statistics show them in a single speciality. The number of hospital doctors in the speciality in Scotland for the following years are:
| 1965 | 314 |
| 1970 | 340 |
| 1975 | 377 |
| 1978 | 392 |
