§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what data are collected about the numbers of stasff made redundant each year in the national health service; if the figures are broken down by grade; and if he will make it his policy to publish them.
§ Mr. DorrellData on redundancies in the national health service are not collected centrally, other than in respect of staff who are both over 50 years of age and have at least five years reckonable service for superannuation purposes. These data are not broken down by grade. The data are distributed within the national health service for internal management purposes. There are no plans for any wider publication.
