Is the Secretary of State aware that he should not be too tolerant with the regional health authorities? I endorse what was said a moment ago. If the Secretary of State does not insist on the authorities allocating resources on a weighted capitation basis, underprivileged areas such as north Staffordshire will not receive the money to which they are entitled. Will the Secretary of State press them strongly?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
