HC Deb 24 February 1981 vol 999 c340W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider making additional payments in certain specialties, such as geriatrics, for which the recruitment of medical staff is proving difficult in many areas of the country.

Dr. Vaughan

There is already provision for health authorities to offer a financial inducement to attract doctors to consultant posts, including posts in geriatrics, which have proved hard to fill.
