§ Mr. SackvilleThe figures are shown in the table. Many of the functions undertaken by senior nursing and senior professional staff are now reflected in the national health service management figures. This means that year-on-year comparisons are invalid. Management still accounts for less than 1.8 per cent. of the NHS work force and the ratio of clinical to support staff has never been higher.
