HC Deb 09 December 1997 vol 302 c535W
13. Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to cater for an increase in emergency hospital admissions this winter. [18242]

Mr. Boateng

We have provided an additional £269 million for the NHS in England in the current financial year. This is being used to ease pressures on the health and social care system during the winter, as well as to start rebuilding the NHS for the future.
