HC Deb 22 December 1954 vol 535 cc301-2W
Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Health if his attention has been drawn to paragraph 143 of the Report of the Central Health Services Council's Committee on the Internal Administration of Hospitals; if he is aware that the medical superintendent of a mental hospital receives no additional remuneration in respect of the responsibilities imposed on him by Statute; and what steps he will take to ensure that the best qualified and most experienced psychiatric consultants are encouraged to apply for these positions.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I am aware of the recommendation but I am not yet in a position to make any statement. Any proposed changes in remuneration would be the concern in the first place of the Medical Whitley Council.
