§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his statement on public expenditure in Wales50W on 14 December, Official Report, column 925, if he will give details of his proposals for funding national pay awards to doctors and nurses in the NHS in Wales with respect to (a) provider unit prices and (b) purchaser costs.
§ Mr. RedwoodI expect pay rises in the NHS in Wales in 1995–96 to be offset by improved efficiency, enabling further growth in patient services. I made clear the total increase in cash for the NHS, and look to health authorities to purchase an increasing quantity of good health care with the money.
