§ Dr. MarekTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the number of administrative staff employed by the Clwyd health authority; what percentage this is of the total number of staff employed; and what were the equivalent figures for 1979.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettBetween 1979 and 1990 the numbers of administrative and clerical staff and senior managers increased by 2 per cent. as a proportion of the total work force employed by the district health authority and the family health service authority in Clwyd.
This compares with the 3 per cent. increase in numbers of nurses and midwives over the same period.
