In case any of you read On Call or Hospital Doctor (I forget which it was before they amalgamated) and believe what you read, I should point out that I did not say what I was recently reported to have said to the House of Commons Select Committee, namely that the secrecy of Distinction Awards should be maintained. It was in fact Mr David Bolt, the Chairman of the Central Committee of Hospital Medical Services (CCHMS) of the BMA, who said this, and I do not agree with him. On the whole, I think more good than harm would come from information being available; but I don't think anyone should ever use his award as part of the subscript to his signature along with his degrees (as a member of our College once did—and probably others equally unwisely).
