HC Deb 10 July 1972 vol 840 c247W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will review the insurance cover for nurses who have to act as official escorts when transferring a patient from one hospital to another, in view of the disquiet caused to the nursing profession at the present level of cover; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

Proposals for improved allowances in respect of nurses and others who may be killed or permanently incapacitated in the course of their National Health Service employment are currently being considered by the Joint Superannuation Consultative Committee.
