HC Deb 09 July 1953 vol 517 cc104-5W
65. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health what limits to hospital expenditure have been imposed on groups serving the needs of residents in Leyton and extra-metropolitan Essex.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I understand that the North East Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board has allocated £2,095,264 for the current financial year to the three groups administering general hospitals which serve the needs of residents in the areas mentioned. Expenditure for the year may not exceed this amount unless a supplementary allocation should later be made by the Board to any of the groups in question.
