HC Deb 31 January 1995 vol 253 c628W
Mr. Thurnham

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list those local authorities which have failed to meet the requirement to spend 85 per cent. of the transfer element of the special transitional grant in the independent sector.

Mr. Bowis

Audited returns detailing community care spending in the independent sector by local authorities in 1993–94 were due to be submitted to the Department by 31 December 1994. Some returns are still outstanding and are being followed up through the Audit Commission.
