§ Mr. Bob RussellTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to provide additional funding to treat people with neurological conditions; and if he will make a statement. [104581]
§ Mr. HuttonThere are no plans to provide additional funding over and above the extra resources currently being provided to the National Health Service to treat people with neurological conditions.
Under the present system it is, of course, for health authorities and primary care groups to plan and arrange the services to people in their care. They are closest to the patients and best placed to respond sensitively to their needs.
