HC Deb 22 February 1977 vol 926 cc525-6W
Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with staffing levels in the North-Western Regional Health Authority.

Mr. Moyle

In comparison with national averages of staffing levels, there are deficiencies in a number of classes of staff. I hope that these will be gradually corrected as progress is made towards a fairer distribution of financial resources between regions.
