Steve Winyard

RNIB, 224 Great Portland Street London W1 N 6AA

In 1997 the Prime Minister set out the Government's public expenditure priorities and they were, to coin a phrase "Education, education, education". More recently health has been elevated to a comparable status with an additional £43 billion allocated in the 2000 Comprehensive Spending Review.
