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

NHS Deficits

I apologise, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I was about to say to my right hon. Friend that we made it clear in the operating framework for the coming financial year that strategic health authorities will not generally require contributions to the SHA reserves of the scale seen in 2006-07 because of the NHS’s return to overall financial balance this year. It is because of the steps that we have taken to return the NHS to that balance that we will not require such a top slice to be taken next year.
