Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on NHS Deficits.

NHS Deficits

The Select Committee sought the disapplication of resource accounting and budgeting to the NHS. For me—and, I suspect, for the Government—there is a good case for not applying it to NHS hospital trusts run as businesses, or, indeed, to NHS provider trusts. However, there is not a good case for not applying RAB to primary care trusts, which receive a given amount of public expenditure resources. They should live within the overall resource envelope.
