HC Deb 16 June 1986 vol 99 c459W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will place in the Library the report on reducing National Health Service administrative staff, discussed at a meeting of regional general managers.

Mr. Hayhoe

The NHS Management Board is currently undertaking a review of administrative and clerical staff in conjunction with regional general managers, and has had several discussions with them to decide how best to maximise the efficiency of administrative staffing. They have considered various discussion papers, but I am not aware of any discussions on a report on reducing administrative staff.
