![APPENDIX 2 SALARY BASIS OF ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Memorandum submitted on behalf of the Minister of Health {. The salaries of senior lay administrators in non-teaching hospital groups, of some lay administrators in teaching hospital groups and of senior nursing staff are related to the number of hospitals and of beds in their administrative units. The salaries of senior lay administrators of Regional Hospital Boards and Boards of Governors are determined by reference to formulae which have regard to the extent of their responsibilities. Particulars (including the various methods of counting beds for the purpose) are given below. 2. The officers whose salaries are determined in this way are :— (a) Group Secretaries and Deputy Group Secretaries | Non-teaching (b) Finance Officers and Deputy Finance Officers hospitals. (c) Supplies Officers and Deputy Supplies Officers (both teaching and non- teaching hospitals). (d) Hospital Secretaries (both teaching and non-teaching hospitals). (e) Matrons and Assistant Matrons (in Mental Hospitals, Deputy Matrons). (f) Chief Male Nurses and Deputy Chief Male Nurses (mental and mental deficiency hospitals). 3. The salaries of Secretaries and Finance Officers (and their deputies) of Boards of Governors of Teaching Hospitals and the salaries of Secretaries and Treasurers (and their deputies) of Regional Hospital Boards—and certain other Senior Regional Officers—are determined individually or in groups by the Whitley Council having regard to the extent of their responsibilities. For example, there are four salary scales for Secretaries of Boards of Governors: one relates to the undergraduate teaching hospitals and three relate to the post-graduate groups. Points System for Senior Lay Administrative Staff 4. The salaries of the officers referred to in paragraph 2 (a)-(d) above are determined by reference to a “points” system which in turn is based mainly upon the number and type of beds concerned. The method of calculation of the points has been agreed by the Whitley Council and is described in Appendix B to A.C. Circular No. 33. The effect on an officer’s salary of changes in the number of points is described in part I] of Appendix A to that circular (but see paragraph 6 of the circular as regards changes affecting hospital secretaries). For all these officers, except hospital secretaries, salaries are based on 7 points groupings which are the same in all cases. These points groupings are set out below, the salaries of Group Secretaries being shown by way of example :— Points Salary Scale (Group Secretaries) Over 60 af 4 ve ek i £1,691 to £2,162 504-60... bit a a “a £1,579 to £1,993 404-50...
