§ Mr. Huntasked the Minister of Health what are the individual allocations for the financial years 1966–67 and 1967–68 for each of the groups within the area of the South-East Metropolitan Hospital Board; and how these allocations compare with the group estimates in each case.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI understand that the allocations made by the Regional Hospital Board were as in the table below. The initial allocations reflect the cost of continuing operations on the same scale as at the beginning of each year. Final allocations include sums to meet the cost of approved developments.
