HC Deb 27 October 1994 vol 248 cc786-7W
Mr. Hain

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will give figures based on current performance for the number of health service staff she expects will see earnings(a) fall and (b) rise as a result of the introduction of relating pay to performance.

Mr. Moss

The proposals made to staff sides and the professionals who represent the groups covered by national health service review bodies, and included in pay bodies of non-review body groups, would strengthen the links between rewards and performance of the local organisations. Such schemes would be locally determined and depend on the achievement of local objectives for the delivery of high-quality services.
