Fire and Rescue Services: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the potential merits of regular health checks for fire fighters.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Fire and rescue authorities, as employer, are responsible for the health and wellbeing of the firefighters they employ, and so it is for those authorities to take the appropriate action to conduct health checks on their workforce.
