HC Deb 17 November 1983 vol 48 cc565-6W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the level of funding of the North-West Thames regional health authority and the East Hertfordshire district health authority for each year since 1979; and what percentage of the national total this represents.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The table sets out, for each year from 1979–80 to 1983–84 the revenue cash limit for North-West Thames regional health authority, and that cash limit as a percentage of the revenue cash limit for the 14 regional health authorities in England. Allocations to East Hertfordshire health authority are the responsibility of the North-West Thames regional health authority and my hon. Friend may wish to consult that authority for the information he requires.
