Mr. Hayes
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to improve the provision of chiropodists in the West Essex health authority.
Mr. Newton
The provision of chiropody services is a responsibility of the West Essex health authority and my hon. Friend may care to write to its chairman about the authority's plans. However, I understand that the West Essex health authority plans to recruit a number of chiropodists to improve the service provided to the district in the near future.
