HC Deb 24 July 1979 vol 971 c204W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, in view of the fact that costs within the National Health Service are likely to be rising at a rate of 17 per cent. by the later part of the current year, what plans he has to provide additional funds for the National Health Service to prevent the consequent cutback in services.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

As I have already made clear, I have no plans to increase 1979–80 cash limits to meet price increases.
