Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations she has received in response to her proposal to introduce local performance-related pay into the NHS; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Malone

Since announcing our plans for reforming national health services in "Working for Patients" in 1989 and proposals for strengthening the links between reward and performance in the national health service in the citizens charter in 1991, we have received representations from a wide range of organisations and individuals including hon. Members, the Trust Federation, the National Association of Health Authorities and Trusts, chairmen, chief executives and human resource directors of trusts and authorities, professional bodies and trade unions.
