HC Deb 27 October 1975 vol 898 c353W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many persons are employed on administration in the health service in England and Wales at the area authority level.

Mr. Meacher

I regret that information is not collected centrally as to the numbers of persons employed at area, including single district area, hearquarters.

Figures given below exclude medical nursing and other professional staff employed wholly or partly on administrative duties.

Employed by regional health authorities 6,260
Employed by area health authorities and board of governors 80,981
Employed by dental estimates board and prescription pricing authority 3,017
Total 90,258

Notes

  1. 1. Administrative and clerical staff include all staff under the purview of the National Health Service Administrative and Clerical Staff Whitley Council.
