§ 46. Mr. Tebbitasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if it is his policy to press for the allocation of additional resources to the National Health Service.
§ Mr. Ennals:Yes. In both 1977 and 1978 the Government made extra allocations to the NHS, over and above the expenditure growth already planned. Given success in the Government's overall economic policies, I hope to be able to announce a further expansion in allocations to the NHS in the future.
