Last year's Secretary of State ordered a review of the Department's arm's length bodies. Since then, the number of staff in those bodies has fallen by just 2 per cent. It has cost £32 million to close some of those organisations and £4.7 million to establish some new ones, added to which the administrative costs of running her Department are now running at £296 million, and trust chief executives estimate that they spend at least a day and a half a week just providing information to the Government and strategic health authorities. Is it therefore right that the Government should demand 15 per cent. efficiency cuts by PCTs, leading to bigger deficits and shrinking front-line services, when she and her right hon. and hon. Friends have signally failed to get a grip on the running costs of her Department?
