§ Mr. Delwyn Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what change is proposed in the health and personal social services cash limit for Wales, Class XI, 3 in relation to the Clegg award to nurses and midwives.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary revised Estimate the Welsh health and personal social services cash limit will be decreased by £1,156,000 from £440,562,000 to £439,406,000. This reflects the fact that some health authorities were able to pay the Clegg Commission award to nurses and mid-wives during 1979–80 thereby reducing the required carry-over into 1980–81.
