HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 c275W
Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what provision he is making to give extra finance for the purpose of the preventive and rehabilative service.

Sir George Young

Additional resources are included in block allocations to health authorities on the basis of overall health care need. It is for health authorities to decide on the deployment of resources to particular services. The Government have under active consideration the recommendations on prevention contained in the report of the Royal Commission on the National Health Service.
