HC Deb 09 June 1986 vol 99 c95W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent general managers have been appointed in regions, districts and units of the National Health Service.

Mr. Hayhoe

The process is very nearly complete. Regional and district appointments were completed some time ago, although there are currently three vacancies at district level. I understand that 539 appointments out of an estimated total of 605 appointments have been made at unit level.
