HC Deb 19 January 1988 vol 125 cc658-9W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the percentage change in the number of administrative staff in the National Health Service in Scotland since 1979; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The information held centrally is not in precisely the form requested. Data on administrative and clerical staff are subdivided by pay scale, which does not coincide in all cases with grade. The available information is published in "Scottish Health Statistics", copies of which are held in the Library.
