HC Deb 08 March 1977 vol 927 c482W
46. Sir George Young

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether his Department will suggest new sources of NHS finance to the Royal Commission.

Mr.. Ennals

My Department has already submitted evidence on NHS financing generally, and will submit further evidence if that seems useful.

63. Mr. Boscawen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether NHS resources will be adequate to maintain existing health standards in 1977–78.

Mr. Moyle

As indicated in part 2 of the White Paper, the Government's Expenditure Plans (Cmnd. 6721), the programme for 1977–78 provided for the nation as a whole for a continuation of the policy that the existing standards of health care should be maintained for a population that includes a growing number of elderly people.
