HC Deb 30 March 1987 vol 113 cc350-1W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he is satisfied, in the light of last year's report by the Health Advisory Service on psychiatric care in Gwynedd, that the Gwynedd health authority has adequate funds to undertake its responsibilities in this field.

Mr. Mark Robinson

I am satisfied that the total recurring revenue resources made available to Gwynedd DHA, which have risen in the period 1978–79 to 1987–88 by 39 per cent. in real terms, are generally adequate to enable it to provide appropriate services in all sectors. We are currently considering proposals from DHAs for additional central financial support for developments which could make a significant contribution to the enhancement of psychiatric services and expect to announce a decision shortly.
