HC Deb 30 April 2004 vol 420 c1356W
Sandra Gidley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what specific funding has been allocated for the implementation of each of the national service frameworks in each of the last three years. [168805]

Mr. Hutton

For 2002–03, there was limited earmarking of funds within health authorities' revenue allocations. The following sums formed part of the allocations with the intention that they were spent on the purpose for which they were included:

  • £76 million for cancer;
  • £60 million for CHD; and
  • £75 million for mental health.

For 2003–04 to 2005–06 there has been no earmarking of funds within primary care trust revenue allocations. None of the growth money has been identified for specific purposes.
