Answer: Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what arrangements for profit-related pay and bonuses have been made for PCT management in England and Wales. [75513] Mr. Hutton: [holding answer 21 October 2002]: Arrangements for performance-related pay and bonuses for primary care trust management is a matter for local determination. The Department has issued guidelines on pay but, in line with the Government's decision to decentralise the decision-making and control, it is for trusts locally to make and justify their own decisions. Copies of the guidelines have been placed in the Library. Information in respect of the arrangements for Wales should be sought from the National Assembly for Wales.
