That is unsatisfactory from the point of view of a prison officer who has been injured in the course of his or her work. The Prison Service grants the officer superannuation benefits because he or she is retiring on the grounds of ill health but does not acknowledge that the reason the officer is in that position is that he or she was assaulted on the job. The Prison Service is essentially telling the officer to take a case to the CICT and take his or her chances there. That is not a good way to treat employees.
