Margaret Moran
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with East of England Strategic Health Authority on payoffs to staff and the effect of such payoffs on the Strategic Health Authority’s budget.

Mr. Ivan Lewis
Staff recruitment and retention is a matter for local trust management in conjunction with the appropriate strategic health authority (SHA). There have been no discussions as to redundancy payments between the Minister and the SHA.
