§ Mr. Maxwell-Hyslopasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what funds he is making available to Stoke Mandeville Hospital so that it can meet the extensive demand for its specialised services arising outside the health region in which it is situated.
§ Mr. Moyle, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 5 February 1979; Vol. 962, c. 62], gave the following information:
In calculating the revenue allocations made to regional health authorities, the Department takes into account the extent to which patients from outside a particular region make use of specialist facilities located within that region. The allocation of revenue within a regional health authority is, however, a matter for that authority to determine. I understand that Oxford regional health authority has taken account of the movement of patients across health authority boundaries in determining the revenue allocations to its area health authorities. 218W The Oxford region has not yet determined the revenue allocations to its areas for 1979–80.
