HC Deb 25 May 1982 vol 24 c290W
Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the ancillary workers in each region of the National Health Service who are currently paid less than £60 per week, between £61 and £80 per week and between £81 and £100 per week; and how many are below the family income supplement level for a family with two children.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Information is not available centrally in the form requested. The following figures are estimated from a sample of staff employed in the six months ended September 1981 in eight English regions:

Gross Earnings (per week) Full Time Staff Part time staff
No. in sample Per cent. No. in sample Per cent.
Up to £60 5,260 7.4 59,389 81.1
£61–£80 17,030 24.1 10,221 14.0
£81–£100 21,559 30.5 2,344 3.2
£101 and Over 26,886 38.0 1,228 1.7
Total Sample 70,735 100 73,184 100

Entitlement to family income supplement depends upon the individual circumstances, including the total gross income of the family concerned.
