PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PAY FOR TECHNICALLY AND SCIENTIFICALLY QUALIFIED STAFF IN THE NHS (11 February 1999)

That this House is gravely concerned by the extremely low pay for technical and scientifically qualified staff in the National Health Service, without whom an increasingly science-based service is in danger of collapse; and accordingly urges the Government to address the issue of pay for staff groups outside the Pay Review Body as a matter of urgency in order to maintain the recruitment and retention of essential highly skilled workers to the National Health Service.
