HC Deb 30 July 1956 vol 557 cc85-6W
47. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that mental health officers who joined the Forces during the war are now suffering an injustice, inasmuch as their period of time in the Forces is not calculated for superannuation purposes; what changes have taken place in the superannuation provisions of the health services in this respect; and if he will take steps to remove this injustice.

Mr. Turton

Full credit for service with the Forces during the war is normally given to mental health officers, and this has not been altered by the National Health Service Superannuation Scheme. I shall be happy to look at any cases in which credit for war service is not being given.
