§ Mr. Kenneth Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she intends to deploy available funds between regional health authorities in such a way as to ensure that each authority receives a share of such funds in proportion to the population it serves.
§ Dr. OwenI am considering the extent to which present methods of allocating available funds can be adjusted so as to be more responsive to the needs of different parts of the country. Population is, of course, among the many factors to be taken into account.
