Notes on Table:

1. The figures for 1977–78 and 1978–79 reflect actual expenditure. The figures for 1979–80 and 1980–81 reflect the revenue and capital cash limits for those years.

2. The figures are influenced by the Payment of London Weighting allowance to staff and by the incidence of additional expenditure on the provision of facilities for the clinical teaching of medical dental students.

3. The population figures used are the mid-year estimates of resident populations unadjusted for differences in the morbidity and age/sex structures of the relevant populations.

4. No account has been taken in the calculations of Regional Health Authority ratios of the provision of services to patients resident in other regions or by authorities outside the regions concerned to patients resident within them.
