HC Deb 28 February 1984 vol 55 c159W
52. Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will review the procedures under which district health authorities which are underfunded by regional health boards can make representations about their financial position; and if he will consider establishing a form of appeal at national level with his Department

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I see no reason to establish formal procedures for central intervention over decisions on allocations to district health authorities. Regional health authorities are accountable to Ministers for these decisions as for their other management responsibilities.
