HC Deb 31 January 1973 vol 849 c379W
29. Mr. Doig

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland where it is intended to site the Common Services Agency and its branches including the building division under the National Health Service reorganisation.

Mr. Monro

The headquarters of the agency will be in Edinburgh. This is where the majority of the bodies whose functions will be absorbed by it are already located. The organisation of the agency work in local offices will be a matter for its management committee when appointed, but for some services there is bound to be a need for substantial sections in major centres like Glasgow. It is expected that building division staff will be employed in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen and, for at least the transitional years, in Dundee and Inverness.
