§ Mr. Gwilym JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has reached a decision about the allocation of resources for health and personal social services in Wales in 1990–91.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerSubject to parliamentary approval, I propose to allocate £1,472 million in 1990–91 to central Government's own expenditure on health and personal social services in Wales. This represents a cash increase of £156.7 million over 1989–90 plans, and an increase of some £98 million over planned provision for 1990–91.
My proposals include £1,055.8 million for the hospital and community health services, an increase of £101.1 million over planned provision in 1989–90. I will announce allocations to individual health authorities as soon as
