HC Deb 22 May 1980 vol 985 cc321-2W
Mr. Cunliffe

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when specific Government moneys will be made available to area health authorities to enable them to implement the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act, and particularly the code of practice laid down in the Howie report.

Dr. Vaughan

No specific sums have been set aside within normal allocations to health authorities for the implementation of the Health and Safety at Work Etc. Act, or the code of practice laid down in the Howie report. It is for health authorities to make appropriate allowance within the resources available for the costs of implementation.
