HC Deb 23 June 1976 vol 913 cc559-62W
Mr. Body

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the total expenditure for each area health authority for the last available 12-month period; and in each case what proportion was spent on the family practitioner service.

Dr. Owen

The total revenue expenditure of area health authorities in England for 1974–75 is shown in the table below, together with the percentage in each case accounted for by the expenditure on family practitioner services. Capital expenditure may be borne on the accounts of either regional or area health authorities, and a comparison of expenditure on family practitioner services in each area expressed as a percentage of all expenditure would not for this reason be valid. In any case, capital expenditure related solely to family practioner committee services is not separately identified in health authorities' accounts.
