HC Deb 28 January 1986 vol 90 c498W
62. Mr. Willie W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the progress made in the reorganisation of senior management in the National Health Service.

Mr. Hayhoe

Good progress is being made with implementation of the general management function in the National Health Service. All regional and district general managers are now in post, and about two thirds of the expected final number of unit general managers have been appointed. New management arangements for all 14 regional health authorities, and for 168 district health authorities, out of a total of 191, have been approved.
