§ Mr. Palmerasked the Secretary of State for the Social Services if he will give comparative figures for each region of the Health Service showing how moneys, allocated for priority services such as psychiatry, geriatrics and sub-normality, have been used for those purposes; and what proportion has been diverted in order to meet general costs including maintenance, wages and salaries.
§ Sir George YoungResources are allocated on the basis of an assessed overall health care need to regional health authorities, who have the responsibility for deciding how to meet the many needs within their localities. Figures are not available centrally for regional expenditure by type of service.
