APPENDIX 58
Supplementary memorandum submitted by
Professor Emeritus James Spencer Malpas, University of London
Letter to the Clerk of the Committee
Thank you for your letter of the 3 April and
for the subsequent "Press Notice" of the 19 May. After
our telephone conversation, I thought rather than applying to
give oral evidence before the Select Committee, I would support
my written evidence[32]
with two relevant references.
The first is:
Reviving Academic Medicine in Britain.
Sandra Goldbech-Wood in the British Medical
Journal volume 320, p 591.
Two quotations are relevant; "Without high
quality research there can be no high quality evidence on which
to base effective health care" and "Pay and conditions
(of academics) have not kept up with the NHS, and an academic
may end up £22,000 worse off after five years than a clinical
colleague".
The second is an in depth review of the problem
of academic careers as given in:
College of Vice Chancellors and Principles.
Clinical Academic Careers. Report of an independent task force.
London. CVCP. 1997.
31 May 2000
