HC Deb 09 May 1978 vol 949 c418W
19. Mr. Neubert

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he next expects to meet the chairman of the North-East Thames Regional Health Authority.

Mr. Ennals

I expect to meet Mr. Moore on 16th May at my next regular meeting with chairmen of regional health authorities.

39. Mr. Newton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with progress in redistributing National Health Service resources within the North-East Thames Region.

Mr. Moyle

It is for the regional health authority to determine the pace at which resources can be redistributed without putting important services at risk. I am satisfied that the authority's policies are directed towards redressing inequalities within the region and I have no reason to doubt its judgment as to how quickly this can be done.
