Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimates, the following changes will be made:
The cash limit for class XIII, vote 1 (Hospital and community health services, family health services (part) and other services, England) will be reduced by £1,250,000 from £14,194,789,000 to £14,193,539,000. This reduction represents a transfer to class XIII, vote 3.
The increase is within the forecast outturn for the planning total published in the statistical supplement to the 1990 autumn statement.The cash limits for class XIII, vote 3 (Department of Health administration, miscellaneous health services and personal social services, England) will be increased by £43,255,000 from £691,253,000 to £734,508,000. This provides an additional £42,000,000 for grants to haemophiliacs infected with HIV; £1,250,000 transferred from class XIII, vote 1 following a reapportionment of family health service funds and £5,000 from class XIV, vote 7 for revised manpower costs. The Department's running cost limit is reduced by £4,356,000 from £202,049,000 to £197,693,000.
