§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list every regional, district or unit general manager who has so far resigned or been removed, the length of time they had held the post and the period of tenure that still remained to run at the time of their departure, the exact post held, their salary and the reason for their leaving.
§ Mr. HayhoeThe general manager for the North-Western regional health authority resigned recently to pursue a management career in the private sector. Of 191 district general managers I understand that three have resigned, from the Central Birmingham. Macclesfield, and West Surrey-North-East Hampshire health authorities; but the hon. Member would need to approach the chairmen of those authorities about the information he seeks as it would not be right for me to give details relating to an officer's individual contract with his employing authority.
298WI regret that information concerning resignations amongst the 600 or so unit level managers is not held centrally.
