Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much each health authority spent in 1988 on the fees paid to medical employment agencies for providing locum services for their hospitals; and what was the highest, lowest and average hourly rate paid by each health authority.

Mr. Mellor

Expenditure information derived from the annual accounts of district health authorities, regional health authorities (RHAs) and special health authorities for London postgraduate teaching hospitals (SHAs) in England for 1987–88 has been placed in the Library.

Information on the hourly rates paid by each health authority is not held centrally.
