NHS (Staff Recruitment)

HC Deb 08 July 1987 vol 119 cc162-3W

Mr. Redwood

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consideration his Department has given to the effect of the boundaries for outer London weighting allowance on the recruitment of skilled staff for health service jobs elsewhere in the south-east.

Mr. Newton

The boundaries within which London weighting allowances are payable are a matter for negotiation between the Management and Staff Sides of the London weighting consortium of the General Whitley Council.
