HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 cc299-300W
Mr. Duffy

asked the Minister of Health what was the public expenditure on health and welfare in Yorkshire and Humberside for 1964–65; and what percentage proportion this was of the total for the United Kingdom, in view of the fact that the region's population represents 8.9 per cent. of the whole.

Mr. K. Robinson

Estimated health and welfare expenditure on hospital building and other new construction in 1964–65 in Yorkshire and Humberside amounted to £10.1 million, which represented 12.1 per cent. of the Great Britain total. An apportionment of other health and welfare expenditure is not readily available.
