In 1996–97, Cambridge and Huntingdon Health Authority spent 1.4 per cent. of their hospital and community health services budget on health visitor services. Information relating to the public health budget is not available centrally and my hon. Friend may wish to contact Mrs. Margaret Scott, chairman of Cambridge and Huntingdon Health Authority.
