HC Deb 06 July 1989 vol 156 c238W
Mr. Colvin

To ask the Secretary of State for Health by how much Southampton district health authority was underfunded for the purposes of nurses regrading.

Mr. Mellor

The Government met the full cost of funding the nurse regrading exercise, based upon regional health authorities' own estimates of the costs. This is therefore a matter for the regional health authority and my hon. Friend may wish to contact the chairman, Mr. Buchanan, for such information as he requires.
