HC Deb 26 July 1955 vol 544 c124W
Mr. W. Griffiths

asked the Minister of Health what proportion of the finances allocated to the Manchester Regional Hospital Board were expended in the last financial year.

Mr. Iain Macleod

On the provisional figures of expenditure for the year, the allocation to the Board on maintenance account was fully expended and expenditure on capital account amounted to about five-sixths of the capital allocation.

Mr. W. Griffiths

asked the Minister of Health the number of developments in the Health Service in the area governed by the Manchester Regional Hospital Board, both of a capital nature and by the expansion of existing services, which are held up through insufficient financial resources.

Mr. Iain Macleod
