HC Deb 28 February 1986 vol 92 cc709-10W
Sir Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the annual expenditure per person on primary health care in (c) Hampstead, (b) Brighton and (c) Islington; and how these figures compare with the national average.

Mr. Hayhoe

Following are the latest available figures:

Expenditure per head of population on primary health care*
District Health Authority 1984–85
£
Hampstead 101
Brighton 90
Islington 96
Average for district health authorities (England) 83

* Current expenditure on community health services plus net expenditure on family practitioner services. The latter expenditure cannot strictly be attributed to particular districts but has been included (pro-rata to population) from the annual accounts of the family practitioner committees which account for it.
