HC Deb 19 March 1990 vol 169 cc469-72W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what is hospital expenditure per head for each of the regional health authorities in Yorkshire and Humberside for each of the last 10 years;

(2) if he will give the figures for hospital expenditure per head of population for each Yorkshire and Humberside health authority for each year since 1979.

Mr. Freeman

Figures of revenue expenditure per head of population on hospital services (HS) and on hospital and community health services (HCHS) for the district health authorities providing health services in Yorkshire and Humberside are shown in the table for the years since the establishment of those authorities on 1 April 1982. I should point out that the table includes all the district health authorities comprising the Yorkshire health region with the addition of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield health authorities which form part of the Trent health region.

(b) Mid-year estimates of resident populations 1982 to 1988 (Office of Population, Censuses and Surveys).

Notes:

1. Hospital and community health services (HCHS) covers total expenditure including that on hospital, community health and where applicable patient transport (i.e. ambulance), blood transfusion and other services. District capital expenditure and expenditure on family practitioner services is excluded.

2. The table also excludes all revenue and capital expenditure incurred by the Yorkshire and Trent regional health authorities on behalf of their regions as a whole. Such revenue expenditure on health and community health services was equivalent to about £7 and 14 per head for the Yorkshire and Trent regions respectively in 1988–89.

3. Significant variations in expenditure figures per head of population at district level arise principally because:

(i) people travel across district boundaries for treatment and sub-regional resource allocations reflect the pattern of service provision locally;

(ii) the population figures used make no allowance for people resident in one district who receive treatment in another or for the differences in morbidity and age/sex structure of particular populations.
