HC Deb 18 July 1989 vol 157 c138W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the health authorities that are running at a deficit after the first two months of the 1989–90 financial year.

Mr. Freeman

Cash limits are issued to health authorities on an annual basis and it is for each authority to plan its spending for the year within the sums available. Health authority cash limit spending is monitored by the Department on a regional basis and there is no evidence that any region will exceed its cash limit for the year.
