HC Deb 15 July 1976 vol 915 c288W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, in view of the fact that he has declared his intention of slimming down administrative costs in the National Health Service, why he is proposing to introduce the senior management posts of senior assistant regional architect/engineer/quantity surveyor into the regional works structure.

Mr. Ennals

It would be for regional health authorities to create posts for this grade only if they are satisfied that it is necessary in order to improve the effectiveness of their organisation and within the financial resources available.
