§ 17. Mr. Robert Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the number and grade of medical staff employed on whole-time and part-time contracts in each specialty in each regional hospital board in 1970.
§ Mr. MonroInformation by speciality is not available for 1970, but I shall circulate details of staff in post at 30th September, 1969, in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. HughesCan the hon. Gentleman confirm the impression that there has 996 been a move from whole-time contracts to part-time contracts by consultant staff with regional hospital boards? If that be so, is it not a disturbing trend, since it leads to a growth in the number of people who are able to buy privilege by jumping the queue and getting earlier treatment?
§ Mr. MonroNo, I cannot accept the hon. Gentleman's conclusion. When he has the OFFICIAL REPORT, he will find there eight pages of detailed statistics, and I am sure that he will not be able to deduce from them the conclusion which he advanced in his supplementary question.
Following is the information: NOTES:
- (a) WT, PT, and WTE mean whole-time, part-time and whole-time equivalent respectively.
- (b) The column headed WTE of PT shows the number of whole-time contracts (11 sessions) equivalent to the total number of sessions worked by part-time staff.
- (c) The column headed WTE/PT shows the ratio of the whole-time equivalent of the part-time staff to the number of part-time staff.
- (d) The figures exclude medical staff with honorary part-time contracts and general medical practitioners employed in the hospital service on a part-time basis.
- (e) Because of roundings there are slight discrepancies between the totals and the sums of the constituent items shown for whole-time equivalent (WTE) figures.
