HC Deb 15 January 1985 vol 71 cc110-1W
30. Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he last met the Chairman of the Wandsworth health authority; and what subjects were discussed.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I met the chairman of the Wandsworth health authority on 21 July 1983. The main subjects discussed at that meeting were resource allocations and planned changes in services. My noble Friend also attended a meeting of district chairmen in South-West Thames on 7 October 1983 at which the chairman of Wandsworth health authority was present. Apart from these formal meetings, I have also met Mr. Dougherty on other occasions when he and I were both present but we have not discussed health authority matters on those occasions.
