HC Deb 07 December 1988 vol 143 c212W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a breakdown of the new grading structure for nurses, midwives and health visitors broken down by grade, type of hospital including psychiatric, geriatric and acute, by district and region.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

This information is not held centrally and could be gathered only at disproportionate cost. I would, however, refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Tayside, North (Mr. Walker) on Thursday 1 December 1988, at column342.

Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will indicate the date on which he first received grading projections from each health board on the new clinical structure for nurses, midwives and health visitors.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Health boards' interim returns were received in the latter part of August and in September.
