HC Deb 31 January 1986 vol 90 cc658-9W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services on what criteria he selected district health authorities to be eligible for financial support under the £9 million primary care package.

Mr. Hayhoe

Additional funds from the primary care package were made available to regional health authorities for use in those districts which cover local authorities already designated under the Government's inner cities policy as "inner city partnership" or "urban programme" areas, or are within the London Dockland Corporation. A few other districts were included which have been recognised as having similar problems to those areas.
