HC Deb 01 December 1971 vol 827 c132W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many hours a junior hospital doctor must work in a week before he gets an entitlement to an extra-duty payment in lieu of off-duty time lost as a result of the demands of the hospital service.

Mr. Alison

A junior doctor will have been on-duty, or on-call either at home or in the hospital, for an average of a little over 100 hours a week before qualifying for the allowance.
