Excluded are a small number of group domestic managers. These officers held group posts prior to the reorganisation of the National Health Service but were not appointed to one of the new district posts. They are, however, according to the protection terms which applied to the restructuring, permitted to retain their higher salary scales even though their duties and responsibilities are less than those which previously applied.
