HC Deb 29 June 1999 vol 334 cc135-6W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will increase the funding allocated to the Department of Health under the Comprehensive Spending Review; and if he will make a statement. [88727]

Mr. Milburn

The Comprehensive Spending Review provided the biggest ever cash increase for the Department of Health, providing an extra £21 billion to the NHS in the UK as part of firm three-year plans. The spending plans for years beyond 2001–02 will be considered in next year's spending review.
