§ Mr. NelsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) whether he has received representations or discussed with the chairman of the South West Thames regional health 305W authority the redistribution of funds within the region to assist underfunded district health authorities such as Chichester;
(2) whether he will list the financial allocations for current expenditure from the South West Thames regional health authority to each district health authority in the region for the years 1989–90 and 1990–91.
§ Mr. DorrellWe have not received any representations or held discussions with the chairman of South West Thames regional health authority about these matters, although the chairman has kept the Department informed about Chichester health authority's financial position. The distribution of funds within the region is a matter for the regional health authority and information on the revenue allocations to individual districts is not held centrally. My hon. Friend may like to write to South West Thames regional health authority for this information.
