HC Deb 15 February 1990 vol 167 cc394-5W
Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what information he has on the amount of overtime worked in the ambulance service in each of the last four years for which figures are available; if he will publish such information, in summary form, in theOfficial Report; and if he will make a statement on his proposals to reduce the amounts of overtime worked.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The figures of overtime worked in the ambulance service are not readily available centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
