asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what will be the total amount of pay received in 1985–86 by each of the categories of National Health Service staff mentioned in the note to editors appended to his Department's press release 85/148, following the implementation of the Government's decisions on the pay review body's recommendations; what was the equivalent figure in each case for 1984–85; and what percentage increase this represents in each case.

We cannot provide the information requested as the final details of the implementation of the pay award for nursing staff and professions allied to medicine have not yet been settled with the staff sides.
