DDC classification:

331.21 CLE

Summary: The purpose of this study is to try to answer two questions:Can the Whitley system of the National Health Service be improved? and: Does the centralized system of determining wages and salaries in the National Health Service shed light on the possibility and desirability of a national wage policy for Britain? In order to provide the material for answers to these two questions an account is given of the origins and structure of the Health Service Whitley system. This is followed by a history of major negotiations on wages, salaries and conditions of employment from the institution of the Health Service in 1948 to the end of 1954. A third chapter compares the resulting movements of wages and salaries within the service and with outside movements. Finally there is offered an analysis of the main factors which seem to have influenced the decisions of negotiators.
