HC Deb 01 February 1990 vol 166 c328W
Mr. Roy Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has to increase the financial resources of the Health Service in(a) Wales, (b) Gwent and (c) Newport.

Mr. Grist

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Cardiff, North (Mr. Jones) on 11 January when my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State announced the revenue and capital allocations to health authorities in Wales for 1990–91, including those in respect of the Gwent health authority. The distribution of resources within the district is a matter for the health authority to decide.

The distribution of the further sums referred to in the reply as being for centrally directed developments in 1990–91 will be announced in due course.
