HC Deb 18 July 2002 vol 389 c542W
Mr. Heald

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS staff, broken down by employment type, are expected to take premature retirement during 2002–03. [56280]

Mr. Hutton

[holding answer 14 May 2002]Premature retirement is one of the factors that make up overall wastage from the national health service work force. Wastage is taken into account in the Department's modelling but is not broken down into its component parts.
