HL Deb 11 December 1997 vol 584 c56WA
The Earl of Munster

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How the terms and conditions of National Health Service doctors compare with those of doctors in (a) France; (b) Germany; (c) Canada; and (d) the US.

Baroness Jay of Paddington

The structure of healthcare provision and the employment arrangements of doctors differ between the countries listed. It is therefore not possible to make meaningful comparisons.
