HC Deb 12 March 1996 vol 273 c580W
21. Mr. Alan W. Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he intends taking to improve the morale of clinical staff in the NHS. [18405]

Mr. Malone

It is the responsibility of local employers to ensure good morale is maintained within the clinical work force. They now have greater freedoms than ever before to develop local employment strategies and implement flexible working arrangements which reflect and reward the valuable contribution of highly motivated and skilled staff.
