HC Deb 27 October 1983 vol 47 c170W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether any money is allocated by regional health authorities towards the cost of using volunteers in the event of industrial unrest in the National Health Service.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We do not collect information centrally on allocations by regional health authorities for particular purposes, so we cannot say whether any of them allocate money for this purpose. I would be very surprised to hear that any health authority does so.
