§ 77. Mr. Loganasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that Mrs. L. M. Shearer, employed for the past 10 years as clerk in Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool, was discharged on 31st March, 1954, being described by the medical officer to be permanently unfit to carry out her duties, but was informed by his Department on 29th April that no gratuity could be paid as recent medical examination did not show her to be permanently incapacitated; and whether, in view of this conflict of medical opinion, he will see that she is either re-employed or is paid her gratuity.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI am making inquiries into this case and will write to the hon. Member when they are completed.
