Mr. Don Culliton:

There are a number of mechanisms available to people who retire because of ill health. The first is retirement on the grounds of ill health under the superannuation arrangements. The Chairman is correct that the same superannuation rules apply regardless of whether the retirement is a result of injuries sustained on duty or a general medical condition. However, persons who are injured in the course of their duties have access to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal, CICT, and can pursue a case through the tribunal if they feel that they are at a loss because of an injury sustained on duty. There is a second avenue available to them.
