HC Deb 11 July 1978 vol 953 c464W
32. Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the progress of redistribution of resources within the National Health Service.

Mr. Ennals

The pace of change to a fairer distribution of resources for hospital and community health services between and within the health regions in England is governed by economic constraints and the time needed to plan effective redeployment of resources without damaging important existing services. I shall not be satisfied until an improving national economy allows us to devote more resources to the NHS and speed up the progress to fairer shares.
