answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2020 answer text <p>National Health Service providers are locally responsible for the provision of bedside television and similar services. The Department is not party to the contracts which exist between the service providers and the individual NHS trusts. If patients do not wish to or are unable to afford the cost of the bedside television, they should still be able to watch the free to view television in the hospital day room or communal areas.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 03/03/2020 12:56:36 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>Our probation staff do a vital and challenging job reforming offenders and protecting the public.</p><p>In 2017, HMPPS benchmarked the pay ranges within the NPS and found them appropriate and in alignment with other public sector workforces. The time taken for new staff to reach the top of their probation pay scale is judged against them acquiring the unique and necessary skills and competencies to be a proficient probation officer. This is not comparable to the time taken to progress in other public sector roles.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 12/11/2018 17:30:54 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
