§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many senior managers in the national health service there were on each spinal point 1 to 30; what was the flat salary on each point; and what was the annual cost of employment per whole-time equivalent on each point in each year since the introduction of these grades;
(2) what was the number of unit general managers in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, the salary range in each group and the annual cost of employment per whole-time equivalent in each group in each year since the introduction of these grades;
(3) what was the number of district general managers in groups 1, 2 and 3, the salary range in each group and the annual cost of employment per whole-time equivalent in each group, in each year since the introduction of these grades.
§ Mr. Sackville[holding answer 22 July 1993]: The information available is shown in the tables. Details of the annual cost of employment per whole-time equivalent in each senior manager, unit or district general manager group are not available centrally.
836W(a) increases in the management numbers reflect the planned and progressive introduction of general and senior management posts into the health service. This increase was not at the expense of direct patient services, as new money was secured for strengthening management which would not otherwise have been available to the national health service.
(b) Many staff who would previously have been classified in their professional capacity are now appearing under management headings. This includes a number of senior nurses along with other professional, executive and administrative staff.

London Weighting was payable to general managers working in the London zones. From 1990 a maximum salary for each general manager post was set within the appropriate pay range. Managers are usually appointed below these maxima and move towards them according to performance. Non-superannuable, non-recurring annual bonuses of up to 8 per cent. depending on performance may be paid to managers on the maxima for their posts. Geographical allowances may be paid in the south-east of England.
(iv) The UGM5 grade was assimilated into UGM4 with the restructuring in 1990.
