Mr. Michael Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what savings each regional health authority is having to make in the current year in order to have the required balanced budget for financial year 1991–92.

Mr. Dorrell

It is essential for health authorities to establish a sound financial position in 1991–92. Elimination of underlying deficits has been made a priority in the current financial year. Measures to be taken by individual health authorities are for agreement between the region and district concerned.
