HC Deb 04 July 1994 vol 246 c101W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the expected savings in the acute sector in the current financial year from the implementation of "Making London Better"; what increases in resources in the primary health care sector she expects to result in the current financial year; and if she will identify the main categories of spending expected to benefit from the implementation of "Making London Better".

Dr. Mawhinney

Information on the breakdown of planned expenditure for the current year between acute and other services is not available centrally. Changes to the pattern of expenditure will depend on purchasing decisions taken locally by health authorities and general practitioner fundholders. As stated in "Making London Better", significant additional investment in primary and community services is taking place, including an additional £170 million capital investment over six years and an extra £7.5 million over three years for voluntary sector initiatives.
