§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the total reduction in the financial allocation for health centre projects in Wales in 1975–76 as a result of the Government's policy on public expenditure.
§ Mr. John MorrisFunds are not usually allocated specifically for health centre schemes which normally form part of the programmes financed by area health authorities from their capital allocations; these allocations have not been reduced. In 1975–76 £0.8 million was initially reserved for central financing of health centre projects additional to those522W included in area health authorities' programmes. Of this sum £0.3 million has now been absorbed into the general capital programme, and the balance has been distributed to area health authorities as additions to their capital allocations.
