§ Mr. HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the total number of NHS clerical, administrative and management staff in each year since 1989. [18775]
§ Mr. MaloneThe information requested is shown in the table.
NHS Hospital and Community Health Service (HCHS) and General Medical Services (GMS) management and administrative staff England 1989 to 19951 Whole-time equivalents 1989 148,030 1990 165,390 1991 179,830 1992 192,600 1993 194,910 1994 198,830 19951 200,500 Notes:
1HCHS figures for 1989 to 1994 are based on staff on general and senior manager payscales and staff on administrative and clerical payscales. A new classification of staff was introduced in 1995 which classifies staff by what they do rather than how they are paid. The figures for 1995 are, therefore, not directly comparable with figures for earlier years.
GMS figures include: secretarial and reception staff in 1989; figures from 1990 also include clerical staff, practice managers and computer operators, and figures for 1995 include fund managers.
All figures are rounded to the nearest 10.
All HCHS figures are at 30 September each year, and GMS figures as at 1 October of each year.
