HC Deb 22 July 1982 vol 28 c285W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many representations he has received from health authorities expressing their support of the most recent pay offer; and if he will name the authorities.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The letters we have received from health authorities during the current dispute in the main cannot be simply categorised as for or against the Government's announcement of the resources available for this year's negotiations. Most authorities who have written have done so primarily to express their concern at the effect the action is having on the service.
