Regional Health Authorities (Expenditure)

HC Deb 24 May 1979 vol 967 cc210-3W

Mr. Radice

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what were the amounts of revenue spending at constant prices for each regional health authority or comparable area before 1974 for 1969–70 and each year from 1973–74 to 1977–78, together with an estimate for 1978–79.

Dr. Vaughan

The information requested is provided in the following table. All figures have been revalued to a constant price level reflecting pay and prices ruling at November 1978, using national revaluation factors. From 1975–76, the figures include revenue spending on the family practitioner services; it is not possible to provide these figures on a comparable basis for earlier years.
