HC Deb 02 December 1977 vol 940 cc434-5W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consultations he has had concerning the use of joint financing money on local projects; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ennals

Extensive consultation preceded the issue earlier this year of the current guidance on joint financing, and it is for health authorities in discussion with local authorities through the joint care planning arrangements to decide how their allocations for joint financing should be spent on individual projects.
