To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will give figures for the real-terms change in spending by the Southern Derbyshire health authority since 1982.

Mr. Dorrell

The annual accounts of the Southern Derbyshire health authority record total revenue expenditure of £74.9 million (cash) for 1982–83 and £132.9 million (cash) for 1990–91. This represents an increase in real terms of some 14.1 per cent. measured at 1991–92 prices. Over this period in-patient and day cases activity on a comparable basis has increased by 31 per cent.
