§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report the job description for the general manager appointed by the North-West Thames regional health authority, the job description of the regional administrator who has been appointed to the new post and the annual increase in salary; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeWe have set out in health circular (84)13 our basic requirements for all health authority general managers' job descriptions and the arrangements for their remuneration. Job descriptions and remuneration for individual general managers are primarily a matter for employing authorities although they are submitting their proposals for Ministers to consider before reaching final decisions in each case. The job description of regional administrators has always been a matter for employing authorities and their remuneration is fixed by negotiation in Whitley councils.
