Mr. Kimball

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what answer he has sent to the Lincolnshire Family Pratitioner Committee about his statement on the total National Health Service expenditure on 16th October 1975.

Dr. Owen

I regret that my statement on 16th October 1975—[Vol. 897, c.769]—did not make it clear that the figures I gave related to hospital and community health services only. I will circulate in the Official Report a revised table including information about expenditure on family practitioner services.

total annual National Health Service revenue expenditure and capital expenditure, respectively, for the North Western Regional Health Authority for each of the years 1976 to 1980.

Dr. Owen

The provisional actual capital and revenue expenditure of regional health authorities in England on hospital and community health services in 1974–75 and the estimated capital expenditure and revenue allocations in 1975–76 and 1976–77 are set out below. Regional hospital boards' expenditure for earlier years was given in my replies to hon. Members on 21st May 1975—[Vol. 892, c. 483–6]—and is also set out in Health and Personal Social Services Statistics for England at tables 2.7 and 2.10, a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
