§ Ms. Harmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how much has been made available in the recent allocation to the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley special health authority;
(2) what is the percentage change between 1986 and the current year in the allocation to the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley special health authority.
§ Mrs. CurrieThe Bethlem Royal and Maudsley special health authority was notified on 31 March that its revenue cash limit for 1987–88 was £20,202,000. This sum, which includes £119,000 from the £15 million special fund, represents an increase over 1986–87 of 5.6 per cent. The SHA will be notified shortly of its share of the additional resources we have made available following my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister's announcement on the 1987 review body awards.
§ Ms. Harmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will grant an additional allocation for the inherited overspend in the special health authority for the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley.
§ Mrs. CurrieNo. Health authorities are required to contain expenditure within their cash limits, and I understand action has been taken by the health authority to enable them to keep within their budget by 31 March 1988.
