Projected budgets for trauma are not available. Individual health authorities are funded on the basis of their resident populations and it is a matter for them to determine the level of funding needed to secure a comprehensive range of health services, including the treatment of trauma, for their residents.
§ Ms LynneTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many(a) orthopaedic trauma operations and (b) trauma operations were performed in Wales in each year since 1990.
