§ 51. Mr. Molloyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the percentage increase in expenditure on the provision of health care in the Greater London area in each of the last three financial years.
§ Mr. MoyleThe percentage increases in revenue expenditure on health services in the Greater London area during the last two financial years, including the effects of pay and price changes, were:
1975–76 over 1974–75–27 per cent.
1976–77 over 1975–76–11 per cent. (estimated).
Due to the reorganisation of the National Health Service, comparable expenditure figures are not available for 1973–74 and hence it is not possible to provide a percentage increase for 1974–75.
