§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his policy towards the inclusion by National Health Service unit general managers in documents setting out management objectives of clauses reserving the right to impose penalties on National Heath 243W Service staff who in the judgment of the unit general manager concerned, fail to meet those management objectives; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Hayhoe[pursuant to his reply, 8 April 1986, c. 66]: There are no arrangements for the imposition of 244W penalties on any National Health Service staff who fail to achieve management objectives. I understand this has been made clear to the unit general manager in the particular instance about which the hon. Member has sent me details.
