HC Deb 14 March 1972 vol 833 cc47-8W
26. Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied that the new formula for revenue allocations to regional hospital authorities will provide sufficient funds to meet the cost increases which will be created by the enlarged capital programme he has authorised; and if he will make a statement.

Sir K. Joseph

Yes. I am satisfied that each board will have sufficient funds to meet the running costs resulting from its capital programme.
