value of team rewards in supporting and enhanc­ ing performance as part of the Government's pol­ icy of developing the health service. Announcing the


scheme, Health Minister Mr John Hutton said: "It is time to reward the bes t in the NHS. I t is characterised by huge var ia tions in perfor­


mance. "We must end the


monolithic culture which suppresses the sense of enterprise in the NHS." Targets and measures


to achieve them are being put in place - some will seek to take the team's usual perfor­ mance forward. General areas such as


tion and efficiency of new practice introduc­ tion are among those which may be targeted nationally. Ones specifi­ cally relevant to each group taking par t will also be involved. The Calderstones


team is the smallest tak­ ing part in the trial. The others include 3,700 peo­ ple in Norfolk and Nor­ wich acute trust and 80 on pathology and radiol­ ogy work in South


Devon. Both extra money for


individuals of around three or four per cent of salary and team rewards by way of better faciliti- ties are being considered. A voucher scheme to


span the world


THE children of Oakhill College in Whalley, from Nursery through to Year 11, are sending their very own messages this Christ­ mas to children in desper­ ate situations around the


world. Their messages of love,


caring and hope are wrapped up in shoe-boxes - some 50 of them gift-filled with toys of all kinds, educational items including books, pens, pencils and sharpeners, crayons etc., together with toiletries and other items such as sweets,


batteries and clothing. Mrs S. Taylor, senior teacher


encourage attendance was one of the features that helped Calderstones win a national prize. Its overall policy was assessed by Government, trade union and profes­ sional body experts. The voucher scheme


at Oakhill, co-ordinated the school’s response to Operation Christmas Child, which is a Christian Aid programme and I the largest children’s gift aid


project in the world. Operation Christmas Child

helps the Trust reward staff members who work at its various locations away from the main Calderstones complex. They do not benefit as much from health at work inititiatives at the Whalley site, such as health and leisure facili­ ties, complementary therapies, smoking cessa­ tion programmes, stress management and free counselling.

unable to welcome the p rom ise , however . For, although it made


clear th a t the agency was investigating the sit­ uation, it was equally clear that major remedi­ al measures were by no

the matter was sorted out amicably - with both packs sharing the cup. The two had faced
