HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 cc90-1W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) which options to improve health care in the United Kingdom are at present under consideration by the working party on the funding of the National Health Service;

(2) if he will list the possible alternative ways of funding the National Health Service which are at present under consideration by the working party on the funding of the National Health Service.

Dr. Vaughan

The working party is considering a wide range of possibilities which have arisen from our examination of health care financing systems in Europe, North America and elsewhere. It is too soon to report on this.
