§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many and what percentage of employees in each district health authority area were engaged in(a) management posts, (b) clerical and administration posts and (c) nursing and midwifery posts in each of the past five years.
§ Dr. Mawhinney[holding answer 17 December 1993]: The information for 1988, 1989 and 1990 will be placed in the Library. Information for later years is not centrally available. The increase in general and senior managers should be treated with caution. Much of the increase arises from reclassification of existing staff, including many senior nurses, as managers.
