HC Deb 05 March 1973 vol 852 cc53-4W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how soon he expects to receive the report of the Joint Superannuation Consultative Committee's proposals for the provision of insurance cover for nurses and other staff while undertaking ambulance duties, and regarding better allowances in respect of nurses and others subjected to personal risks whilst engaged on National Health Service duties.

Mr. Alison

I understand that the draft of a report containing recommendations for the introduction of a new scheme of injury allowances for National Health Service staff who are permanently incapacitated in the course of duty is currently before the Joint Superannuation Consultative Committee. My right hon. Friend expects to receive the report very shortly.
