HC Deb 19 November 1981 vol 13 c230W
Mr. Mike Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish a table giving the total and per capita outturn expenditure for the health and personal social services by authority in the United Kingdom for 1980–81.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Figures for authorities in England are not readily available in the form suggested. However, a table for 1979–80 on the lines suggested was published on pages 12–14 of volume II of the third report from the Select Committee on Social Services for Session 1980–81. Information about authorities in other United Kingdom countries is for my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
