Mr. Norman: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what measures he has put in place in the last two years to track the career moves of (a) chairmen, (b) chief executives, (c) directors and (d) senior management positions within the national health service; [126699] (2) what measures he has put in place in the last two years to gather data on (a) career progression and (b) wastage rates of (i) chairmen, (ii) chief executives, (iii) directors and (iv) senior management positions within the national health service. [126700] Ms Rosie Winterton: Since it was established in April 2001, the National Health Service Leadership Centre has drawn up development portfolios for chief executives, executive directors and clinical staff across the NHS. Most recently a development portfolio has been developed with the NHS Appointments Commission for chairs. These programmes are designed to provide focused development and have helped to track the careers of some senior staff in the NHS. More recently, the Leadership Centre has established a career development and succession planning scheme known as `NHS Leaders'. This is intended to build and strengthen leadership across the NHS; to ensure that all senior leaders have personal development plans and are supported in their career development; to provide information to support appointments and succession planning; and to provide tailored development for newcomers to improve the performance of the NHS. A database of all senior leaders has also been compiled which will track the careers of these leaders. The NHS Appointments Commission has established a record keeping system for all chairs and non- executives which records their service to the NHS. This is particularly useful when encouraging non-executives to apply for chair positions. The Commission also records those individuals who resign from their board.

Mr. Norman: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office (1) what measures he has put in place in the last two years to (a) track the career moves and (b) monitor the improvement of individual public sector leaders, as referred to in the Strategy Unit Report on Strengthening Leadership within the Public Sector; [126696] (2) what measures he has put in place within the last two years to gather data on (a) career progression and (b) wastage rates of public sector leaders, as referred to in the Strategy Unit Report on Strengthening Leadership within the Public Sector. [126697] Mr. Alexander: A significant number of actions have been taken in the last two years to improve and measure public sector leadership. In the Civil Service, the Senior Appointments Selection Committee (SASC) takes a strategic overview of senior appointments, succession planning and leadership development. Over the last year, SASC (supported by the Cabinet Office) has shifted its annual succession planning round with the aim of providing a more strategic overview of talent in the SCS and those with potential for top posts. It includes individual Departments' assessment of their short- and long-term skills needs to meet priorities, an assessment of their current talent pools and what they are doing to develop individuals through career moves and broader development. The Cabinet Office also collects data on the Senior Civil Service workforce which includes information on progression rates through SCS Pay Bands and leavers. This data is used to inform SASC's succession planning overview. In the wider public services, priority has been given to strengthening leadership. For example, in the NHS through the NHS Leadership Centre, in Schools with the introduction of the Leadership Incentive Grant, and the Police with the establishment of the Central Police Training and Development Authority last year. There has also been a focus on monitoring leadership improvement through inspection, for example the Local Government Comprehensive Performance Assessment corporate reviews.

Mrs. Browning: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) what plans he has to introduce a career structure for school technicians in (a) secondary and (b) further education recognised throughout England; [119804] (2) if he will introduce a national pay scale for school technicians to over-ride local education authority restrictions, and be recognised as a minimum standard by establishment heads; [119805] (3) what representations he has received on introducing national levels of pay commensurate with experience, qualifications and responsibilities for school technicians; and from whom. [119807] Mr. Miliband: [holding answer 17 June 2003]: My Department has received a number of representations which propose the introduction of a career structure and national pay scales for school support staff, including science technicians. Since the Royal Society (RS) and Association for Science Education (ASE) published their report on January 2002 we have been working closely with them and with the Consortium of Local Education Authorities for the Provision of Science Services (CLEAPSS) to develop a career structure for science technicians. The work is being taken forward in consultation with the wider scientific community and will take account also of broader advice on school support staff roles being produced by the National Joint Council for Local Government Services. We are aiming to publish guidance this autumn. As part the Government's investment and reform strategy for further education and training, the new DfES Standards Unit will be trialling best-practice teaching and learning materials and teacher training in Level 3 biology, chemistry and physics this summer. The trials will lead to larger scale pilots from September and will give a real boost to science teaching and to the vital support work by science technicians. The Government's position on pay remains that the terms and conditions of employment of school support staff including science technicians are best determined locally, in light of local needs and circumstances. This means that local arrangements can reflect the fact that, for example, the duties and responsibilities of technicians vary widely between schools. The National Agreement on Raising Standards on Tackling Workload, signed by the Government, local authority employers and school workforce unions on 15 January this year, will improve training and career progression opportunities for support staff and makes clear that we expect their pay to reflect their level of training, skills and responsibilities.
