§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the actual expenditure in Great Britain for health and personal social services for 1978–79 at outturn prices in the 1980 Treasury analysis; what percentage of this sum would be saved by (a) a cut in administrative expenditure of £30 million, and (b) a doubling of the income received from pay beds.
§ Dr. VaughanThe outturn of expenditure in Great Britain for health and personal social services for 1978–79 is provisionally estimated as £8,974 million—at outturn prices.
A cut of £30 million would represent 0.3 per cent of that sum. A doubling of income from pay-beds would also represent 0.3 per cent of that sum.
