Health and Welfare Expenditure, Wales and Monmouth

HC Deb 08 July 1968 vol 768 c28W

Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Health what was the total expenditure on health and welfare in Wales and Monmouth for the year 1967–68; and what percentage of United Kingdom expenditure on this subject this represents.

Mr. K. Robinson

The following is the information:

Health and Welfare Services (Wales and Monmouth) Gross Vote Expenditure plus Gross Revenue Expenditure by Local Health and Welfare Authorities 1967–68—£83.9 million (estimated)

This represents approximately 5.1 per cent of the comparable expenditure in Great Britain for that year; figures for the United Kingdom are not readily available.
