§ Mr. Fatchettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the cost to the Yorkshire regional health authority of early retirement in 1982–83.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe Yorkshire regional health authority was not required to meet the costs of superannuation and compensation payments for officers retiring prematurely in the region, since these are met from central funds. Employing authorities are responsible for redundancy payments to those prematurely retired employees so entitled. Details of redundancy payments are not held centrally.
