HC Deb 13 June 1989 vol 154 c363W
Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland at what level within health and social services hoards responsibility for the grading of medical laboratory scientific officers lies.

Mr. Needham

[holding answer 12 June 1989]: The Professional and Technical Staffs joint council agreement, under which the grading of medical laboratory scientific officers is currently being reviewed, does not specify the management level at which the review should be conducted. This is a matter for each health and social services board to decide.
