HC Deb 24 July 1987 vol 120 c700W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish a list showing the nature, location and value of expenditure authorised for 1987–88 and 1988–89 from the waiting list fund announced in November 1986; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Newton

Full details of more than 350 schemes planned by Regional Health Authorities for the improvement of waiting lists and times in their districts supported from the waiting list fund of £25 million for 1987–88 were placed in the Library on 23 March 1987. Since then there have been only minor alterations to some of the projects to take account of changing circumstances. No expenditure has yet been authorised from the £25 million fund for 1988–89.
