HC Deb 05 February 1979 vol 962 c59W
Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will initiate special talks with all the trades unions involved in the National Health Service with a view to radical reform both of the pay structure within the service and of the negotiating machinery.

Mr. Ennals

This is not my intention. Pay structure and negotiating machinery in the National Health Service were carefully studied by Lord McCarthy and his report did not recommend radical change.
