HC Deb 25 July 1989 vol 157 c671W
91. Mr. Hardy

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he is satisfied that the resources available to the Trent regional health authority are sufficient to meet the needs of areas like that served by the Rotherham health authority.

Mr. Freeman

This year Trent regional health authority received a real terms increase in funding of 2.9 per cent.—higher than the national average increase of 2.7 per cent. The region subsequently received additional moneys to help meet the cost of the review body awards (£9.6 million) and NHS review implementation (£2.5 million). Allocation of funds to individual district health authorities is a matter for the regional health authority.
