HC Deb 25 March 1985 vol 76 c16W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what specific training or qualifications prison medical officers have in relation to their responsibilities for supervising food hygiene standards in prisons.

Mr. Mellor

All medical practitioners receive instruction in general health and hygiene as part of their training. The prison department does not provide further training in these subjects for prison medical officers but those who wish to do so attend external courses.
