HC Deb 18 January 1994 vol 235 cc530-1W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what funding is being allocated on 1994–95 to regional health authorities to purchase health care in London; and what was the figure for 1993–94.

Dr. Mawhinney

Allocations are made to the four Thames regions and it is they who allocate to district health authorities in London. For 1993–94 and 1994–95, the main regional allocations were:

£000"s
1993–94 1994–95
North West Thames 1,320,749 11,352,165
North East Thames 1,490,187 1,561,379
South East Thames 1,439,276 1,519,821
South West Thames 1,116,107 11,163,130
1The allocations are not directly comparable because of boundary changes.

In addition, the Thames regions will have received during 1993–94 further allocations for specific purposes, some of which will have been deployed in London. Similar allocations will be made during 1994–95.
