Lord Prior of Brampton
The decisions about which services to reduce must lie with local authorities.
Baroness Janke (LD)
My Lords, does the Minister realise that many of the contracts for public health are already let in the medium term? Is the proposed cut on uncommitted funding, or are the Government proposing to give some help to local authorities who have no way of ending those contracts?
Lord Prior of Brampton
The noble Baroness raises a good question. This will be a crucial part of our consultation, which will take place very soon.
