Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much clinical commissioning groups in (a) Suffolk, (b) Bedfordshire, (c) Cambridgeshire, (d) Essex, (e) Hertfordshire and (f) Norfolk spent on salaries and wages for (i) general and senior managers, (ii) nurses and midwives and (iii) administrative and clerical staff in each year since their inception.

Information is not available for every clinical commissioning group (CCG) requested.

Information on how much CCGs in (a) Suffolk, (b) Bedfordshire, (c) Cambridgeshire, (d) Essex, (e) Hertfordshire and (f) Norfolk spent on salaries and wages for (i) managers and senior managers, (ii) qualified midwifery and health nursing staff and (iii) administrative and clerical staff for 2013-14 is in the table below:

Source: Health and Social Care Information Centre, Provisional NHS Staff Earnings: Estimates.

Notes:

1. There is no data available for Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG; this may be due to its hosting arrangements. NHS West Suffolk CCG and NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG share a Management Delivery Team (hosted by NHS West Suffolk CCG).
2. Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG cannot be split between Great Yarmouth and Waveney, and for the purposes of this table has been included in Suffolk.
3. The majority of CCGs opened in April 2013, so only one year of complete total earnings data is available.
4. Figures in the table are provisional NHS Staff Earnings estimates.
5. The following key applies:

- Not applicable

* Data is obscured as the group had 5 or fewer staff, in line with The Data Protection Act

6. As expected with provisional data, some figures may be revised prior to the next publication as issues are uncovered and resolved.
7. Figures rounded to the nearest pound.
8. These figures represent payments made using the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) system to NHS Staff who are employed and directly paid by NHS organisations.
9. Figures based on data from all English NHS organisations who are using ESR (two foundation trusts do not use ESR).
10. Figures are based on staff with contracted hours more than zero. Bank and locum staff that typically have no contracted hours are not included in these figures.
11. These statistics include "negative" payments - for example instances where a payment field has had money subtracted to correct an overpayment.
12. The Health and Social Care Information Centre seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data but responsibility for data accuracy lies with the organisations providing the data. Methods are continually being updated to improve data quality where changes impact on figures already published. This is assessed but unless it is significant at national level figures are not changed. Impact at detailed or local level is footnoted in relevant analyses.
13. As from 21 July 2010 the Health and Social Care Information Centre has published provisional monthly NHS workforce data. As expected with provisional statistics, some figures may be revised from month to month as issues are uncovered and resolved. The monthly workforce data is not directly comparable with the annual workforce census; it only includes those staff on the ESR (i.e. it does not include Primary care staff or Bank staff), it also includes locum doctors (not counted in the annual census). There are also new methods of presenting data (headcount methodology is different and there is now a role count).
