TOTAL 471,008 511,834 544,500 578,989 610,196

Notes

1. The figures are for all revenue (i.e. current) expenditure excluding payments to doctors, dentists. pharmacists, opticians and others providing services under contracts with family practitioner committees.

2. The figures for 1981–82 to 1984–85 are derived from the accounts of health authorities submitted to the Department. Figures for 1984–85 are at this stage provisional.

3. Prior to 1982–83 the Dyfed area health authority covered the whole county.

4. The figures provided for 1985–86 reflect the latest notified revenue allocations. A further £8.08 million remains in centrally held reserves for the further development of the services provided by health authorities. It will be released during the remainder of the financial year.

5. The out-turn figures for 1981–82 to 1984–85 include the expenditure of income generated locally by health authorities and are therefore not fully comparable with the Department's allocations to districts for 1985–86. The amount of such income in 1984–85 is estimated at £1.5 million.
