Notes:

1. Figures for 1979–80 include an element for administration and clerical staff of associated Family Practitioner Committee. (Cost not separately identified).

2. The figures are for gross pay costs including employers' National Insurance and superannuation contributions.

3. Nursing staff are not included in the medical category.

4. Expenditure figures prior to 1991–92 show the authorities as providers of health care. Those for 1991–92 show the authorities as purchasers of health care and are therefore not comparable.

5. Total revenue expenditure is for Hospital and Community Health Services.
