1. The figures given are based on cash limits, and include the cost of senior medical staff (revenue) and major capital works.
2. The cash limits have been related to 1976 unweighted mid-year estimate of resident population. In calculating the figures for the Suffolk AHA account has been taken, for both cost and population, of Thetford, which although in Norfolk, is administered by Suffolk AHA. No account has been taken of Waveney which is in Suffolk but is administered by Norfolk AHA.
3. No account has been taken of expenditure on the Family Practitioner Services.
4. All the revenue figures shown for England are influenced by the payment of London Weighting allowance to staff and by the incidence of additional expenditure in the provision of facilities for the clinical teaching of medical and dental students.
