HC Deb 07 March 1983 vol 38 cc314-5W
15. Mr. Coleman

asked the Secretary of State for Wales, following the recent reorganisation of the National Health Service in Wales, how many employees have opted for early retirement; and what has been the cost of this.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Eighty nine, of whom 55 had retired up to mid-February. The cost will be substantially financed from contributions to the NHS superannuation scheme; the balance has been estimated at £285,000 for 1982–83.
