Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on NHS Deficits.

NHS Deficits

I thank the hon. Lady for being generous in accepting interventions. Does she agree that it ill behoves the Government to lecture trusts on financial propriety in terms of the skill mixes of their financial directors when the Secretary of State, questioned on 29 November, confirmed that the Government have no idea what the 230,000 administrative and clerical staff in the NHS do or what their contribution to the NHS is, because the data are not collected centrally? On that basis, how on earth can the Government lecture trusts?
