Scope and content
SZ chaired the enquiry into Hospital Scientific and Technical Services. Includes minutes, papers and correspondence, 1965-1970.
The Committee was set up jointly by the Ministry of Health and the Scottish Office in July 1967 under SZ’s chairmanship "To consider the future organisation and development of hospital Scientific and Technical services in National Health Service hospitals and the broad pattern of staffing required and to make recommendations". The other members of the Committee were Professor A.R. Currie, R. Gaddie, Professor J.E. Roberts, A.B. Scott, Professor J.P. Shillingford, and Professor S. Shone.
The Committee provisionally set itself six months to complete its work. At its first meeting, in September 1968, it identified medical physics and biochemistry as forming the core of the scientific service but noted that "there was now developing a distinct discipline of biomedical engineering". At the same time that the Committee was in existence the Fulton Committee was considering the future organisation of the Scientific Civil Service as a whole.
