§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what specific additional financial provision has been made for the National Health Service in Scotland for 1983–84 comparable with the additional £80 million for the National Health Service in England; and what increase is proposed in Scottish local authority expenditure on personal social services.
§ Mr. YoungerI have not yet made final decisions about the allocation to individual Scottish programmes of the resources available within the provision made for the Scottish block. These resources include an increase equivalent to 10/85ths of the increase in the provision made for the health programme in England in 1983–84.
