§ Mr. BattleTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what will be her Department's total expenditure on the establishment of NHS trusts in each year since their first introduction to the end of the current financial year.
§ Dr. Mawhinney[holding answer 15 May 1992]: A total of £12.7 million in 1990–91 and £26.6 million in 1991–92 was allocated for the first and second wave of trusts. This included developmental costs and a non-recurring revenue addition paid to regions to help cover the cost of public 64W consultation, conveyancing costs and expenditure incurred by trusts during their shadow running period—the period immediately prior to their operational date.
For 1992–93, a total of £34.2 million has been allocated to meet expenditure and conveyancing costs for the third wave.
