HC Deb 12 May 1986 vol 97 c375W
Mr. Thurnham

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with the scheduling arrangements for capital spending by the North-Western regional health authority; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

Health authorities are required to produce capital programmes which will best promote their strategic plans and which most effectively manage the considerable capital resources available. I understand that, in consultation with its district health authorities, this is what North-Western regional health authority is attempting to do.
