§ Mr. HesfordTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans the Government have to review the guidelines for occupational health services for NHS staff. [3489]
§ Mr. MilburnFollowing detailed consultation with professional bodies, Health Service Guidelines for Occupational Health (HSG(94)51) were issued in December 1994. This guidance took into account the recommendations of the "Clothier" report on former nurse Beverley Allitt. In the light of the publication of the "Bullock Report" (the inquiry into the events surrounding the conviction of Amanda Jenkinson) we are considering whether the existing guidance can be further improved.
