HC Deb 29 July 1982 vol 28 c669W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many district health authorities have set up a pay reserve in anticipation of wage rises above the original four per cent. pay offer.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Health authorities are responsible for the financial management of their cash limits. Information on local budgetary arrangements is not held centrally, and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
