To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-29525 by Mr Jim Wallace on 14 October 2002, what guarantee it can give that the remuneration of medical staff in prisons is no lower than that which would be used in other public health sectors, in accordance with section 22 of the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers Recommendation R(98)7.
Answer
I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:None. Remuneration of medical staff is a matter for the contractor, however, on account of market forces, the remuneration of medical staff in Scottish prisons is unlikely to be very different from that in the NHS.
