HC Deb 31 January 1966 vol 723 c154W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Minister of Health on what basis money is allocated to regional hospital boards and hospital management committees for staffing purposes.

Mr. K. Robinson

I make revenue allocations to regional hospital boards to cover the cost and development of the services provided within their regions as a whole. I do not divide these allocations into sums for specific purposes, such as staff. It is the responsibility of each board to settle the allocations to their hospital management committees out of the total provided by me and generally to oversee the disposition of their resources.
