§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales what will be the effect of overspending in the year ended 31 March, by Dyfed health authority by £550,000, upon the employment of health service workers in the authority; and what redundancies will result from this.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsIn 1979–80 Dyfed AHA overspent by £364,000 on its revenue account. A proportion of this, which has yet to be determined, relates to expenditure on wage settlements for which the Welsh Office will be providing additional funds to all health authorities in Wales. The remainder of the over-664W spend will have to be found by the authority from within its 1980–81 allocation. How this is done is a matter for it.
