Mr. Corbett
To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what account he took of the additional costs of PTB and A and C pay restructuring when deciding cash allocations to regional health authorities;(2) whether the increased cost consequences of PTB and A and C pay restructuring are to be met from additional central funding or out of existing regional health authority and district health authority allocations.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley
Health authorities should meet increases in prices and pay, including the costs of restructuring negotiated in the Whitley councils, from their cash allocations, income generation schemes and cost improvement programmes.
