HC Deb 07 June 1991 vol 192 cc374-7W
Mr. Galbraith

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give for each health board the number, in both absolute and percentage terms, of medical physics technicians, pharmacy technicians and medical photographers in each of the new pay scale categories.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

An agreement concluded by the Professional and Technical Staffs "B" Whitley Council in September 1989 introduced a new pay and grading structure for various groups of technicians in the NHS. Medical physics, technicians, pharmacy technicians and medical photographers were assigned to one of the eight medical technical officer (MTO) grades which are assistant, senior assistant, trainee and grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Health boards have stated that on 30 September 1990 the number of staff formerly in these grades in each of the MTO grades is as set out in the following tables.
