HC Deb 20 January 1977 vol 924 c289W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the amount of money per head of the population in the Greater Glasgow Health Board and the Lanarkshire Area Health Board, respectively, being spent by the National Health Service at the most recent convenient date.

Mr. Harry Ewing

In 1975–76 the expenditures per head by Lanarkshire and Greater Glasgow Health Boards were £82.09 and £135.93, respectively, but the latter provides a much greater range of services, and many Lanarkshire patients continue to be treated in Glasgow hospitals.
