HC Deb 13 June 1979 vol 968 c250W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take the necessary action to ensure that all the employees in the medical and health services receive the same percentage increase in their wages and salaries as now agreed to be paid to the chairmen of nationalised industries, doctors, dentists, and others.

Sir George Young

Remuneration of virtually all NHS staff other than doctors and dentists is a matter for the Whitley councils, who take into account many factors including relevant analogous pay awards.
