Surgeon Lieut-Commander Bennettasked the Minister of Health for what reason his regulations require that time necessarily spent by a Health Service medical officer in attending a criminal court to give evidence in respect of a Health Service patient is not to be considered as spent on duty but is ordered to be debited against the medical officer's annual allowance of leave.
§ Mr. BevanI know of no such requirement; the terms and conditions of service provide for the opposite.
