Mr. Austin: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he plans to take in respect of the survey published recently by the MSF union on levels of pay and morale of medical technical officers in the NHS. [112443] Mr. Denham: [holding answer 1 March 2000]: We recognise that the Scientific and Technical staff groups employed and trained in the National Health Service have been experiencing recruitment, retention and a range of other human resource problems. Therefore, we aim to develop a human resource strategy that will underpin the education and training, recruitment and retention and general career development for NHS HCHS scientists and technicians. Medical Technical Officers (MTOs) are a part of this work force. This work will be taken forward as an integral part of the work programme of the National Advisory Group for Scientists and Technicians (NAGST). NAGST is collaborating with the professions to ensure the National Health Service has an adequate supply of competent scientists and technicians. There are three strands to the current work programme: collection of work force data; work force planning; implementation. A pay offer is with the staff side of the Professional and Technical Staffs' B Whitley Council covering Medical Technical Officers for: an increase of 3 per cent. or £250, whichever is the higher for 1999-2000; an increase of 3.25 per cent. or £300 whichever is the higher for 2000-01; and in the context of agreement on the negotiations on Agenda for Change (including the principle of pay linkage as set out in paragraph 7.4 of the Joint Framework of Principles and Agreed Statement on the Way Forward issued on 8 October 1999) and the joint commitment to lifelong learning, a minimum RPI(X) at December 2000 reported in January 2001, plus 0.5 per cent.

Mr. Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the current average starting pay for (a) hospital cleaners, (b) hospital porters and (c) trainee medical laboratory science officers in the NHS. [113195] Mr. Denham: [holding answer 6 March 2000]: It is not possible to identify separately the average starting pay for hospital porters or cleaners on national terms and conditions. It is a matter for individual employers to determine the appropriate pay scales for each occupational group within the ancillary pay structure, based upon the grading definitions contained within the Ancillary Staffs Handbook. The current pay scale for Trainee Medical Laboratory Scientific Officers (MLSOs) is: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Pay scale £ 00 7,476 01 7,726 02 7,988 03 8,260 04 8,544 05 8,839 06 9,146 07 9,463 08 9,796 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Pay is negotiated in the Professional and Technical Staffs B Whitley Council. The NHS Management Side has offered to improve the pay of Trainee MLSOs. If accepted this offer would produce a new pay scale for Trainee MLSOs, effective from 1 April 1999, of: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Pay scale £ 00 9,420 01 9,747 02 10,090 03 10,443 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
