HC Deb 06 February 1961 vol 634 cc6-7W
Mr. A. Roberts

asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to expedite the retrospective payment due to hospital medical staffs under the recent salary award.

Mr. Powell:

Payment instructions were issued on 12th January. Calculation of the amounts to be paid to individual doctors is a heavy task, but hospital authorities have been asked to make every effort to make payment by the end of March to doctors whose current addresses are known to them.
