HC Deb 26 February 2001 vol 363 cc448-9W
Mr. Harvey

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what funding has been spent in each region on voluntary sector and prevention work by health authorities in each year since 1990; and if he will make a statement. [150391]

Mr. Denham

The information requested is not held centrally in the form requested and cannot be collected without incurring disproportionate cost.

The NHS Plan sets out the actions needed by the National Health Service to tackle the causes of ill health. The NHS must work in partnership with other agencies including the voluntary sector.
