Health and Social Services Boards

HC Deb 30 January 1997 vol 289 c369W

18. Sir James Molyneaux

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the revised financial allocations to health and social services boards. [11984]

Mr. Moss

The 1997–98 board allocations reflect their current capitation shares. However, there is common agreement that the Eastern board will be a gainer when the capitation review is completed. Accordingly, I have also made available to that board an additional £4 million for 1997–98, of which £2 million are recurring funds.
