HC Deb 18 December 1968 vol 775 c409W
96. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will provide a financial incentive to hospital authorities to rationalise and reduce their costs and to encourage redeployment of their resources.

Mr. Ennals:

Hospital Boards already have this incentive. Any savings in running costs as a result of redeployment of services or improvements in efficiency are available to the Board for development of their services.
