§ 30. Mr. James Lamondasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will increase the proportion of National Health Service expenditure at present allocated to the North-West region.
§ Dr. VaughanThe distribution of health services resources is based on the criteria established by the resource allocation working party. Under these criteria, the North-Western region is relatively poorly provided and can expect to continue to receive greater than the average national growth in its revenue allocation, as it has done in 1981–82.
