To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he will make a statement on funding, through the Trent region, for the Leicestershire health authority.

The Government announced on 16 January an increased initial allocation to Trent regional health authority for 1991–92 of 10·5 per cent. The regional health authority expects to be able to inform Leicestershire district health authority of its initial allocation for 1991–92 in a few weeks.
