HC Deb 13 June 1986 vol 99 cc324-5W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any doctors in the prison medical service are eligible for any distinction or other merit awards; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

The pay and conditions of service or prison medical officers are those of the Medical Civil Service generally. There is no system of merit payments comparable to the distinction awards payable to certain consultants in the National Health Service.
