HC Deb 03 March 1999 vol 326 c781W
20. Mr. Lansley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what additional resources are being made available to the Bro Taf health authority following the outbreak of meningitis. [72474]

Mr. Jon Owen Jones

No additional funding has been sought by, or provided to Bro Taf Health Authority. Each Health Authority receives an element of discretionary funding in its annual resource allocation which is for the Health Authority to spend according to their priorities in their area.

Following the transfer of functions, this issue will be a matter for the National Assembly.
