HC Deb 26 February 1987 vol 111 cc396-7W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what research he has done into the effect on the National Health Service of the ending of comparability of pay between medical academic staff and National Health Service staff.

Mr. Newton

The Government remain committed to the principle that the pay of clinical academic staff should be linked to that of doctors and dentists in the National Health Service. The clinical academic staff salaries committee has notified universities of increases in pay for clinical academics in line with those made to National Health Service doctors following the report of the Doctors and Dentists Review Body. I therefore see no need for research of the kind suggested by the hon. Member.
