HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 c409W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will give a detailed breakdown of the specific elements included in his Department's estimate of community care costs proposed for inclusion in the revenue support grant for 1991–92.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The Government's provisional assessment of what local authorities need to spend on personal social services in 1991–92 will be announced in the autumn. There is no intention to identify specific elements within that overall assessment, as it is for local authorities to determine their own spending priorities.
