HC Deb 04 December 1979 vol 975 c164W
Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will set out the numbers of participants in courses held at the White Hart training centre in Harrogate during the last financial year and the cost per person per training day, including overstay.

Sir George Young

In the financial year 1978–79 the number of participants in courses, conferences and other training events was 2,777 and the cost per person per training day, including overnight stay, was £28.51.

Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will set out the cost of running the White Hart training centre in Harrogate for the period since its inception at constant 1979 prices.

Sir George Young

These costs were:

fering from disorders of leg veins. For those patients whose clinical needs are not met by the drug tariff range of garments, supply can usually be made through the hospital service.

These arrangements have been found in practice to meet the requirements of the general medical services and I can hold out no prospect of making support—non-elastic—hosiery, of the kind sold in quantities over the counter, generally available on prescription when there are many demands of higher priority upon National Health Service funds.
