§ Mr. MealeTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will instruct the central Nottinghamshire district health authority to provide a list of the moneys payable to it from other health authorities for the provision of services for the mentally ill since 1987.
§ Mr. FreemanIt is for individual health authorities to plan local services and manage their budgets accordingly and it would be inappropriate for me to intervene in the way suggested. However, I understand that arrangements have been made to facilitate the transfer of patients from Saxondale hospital into central Nottinghamshire. I am sure that if the hon. Member contacts Mr. Teeman, the chairman of the district health authority, he will be able to obtain all available details.
