§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will provide an analysis of capital expenditure compared to cash limit allocation for(a) trusts in each region and (b) regions in each of the last three years. [2400]
§ Mr. HoramThe available information is shown in the tables. "Allocations to RHAs" represent the final capital cash limits for the year. Trusts do not have cash limits; their equivalent control is external financing limits, but 35W these cover both revenue and capital expenditure. The figures provided for trust "Capital Allocations" in the tables therefore represent initial planned capital allocations for the year concerned. In each case, capital expenditure covers capital additions, which include assets purchases by, and donated to, authorities and trusts, as

- 1. Capital allocations for RHAs are final cash limits which include in year adjustments made to the original cash limits. The transfer of capital cash limit and capital receipts to Trust external financing limits by some RHAs resulted in negative final cash limit figures.
- 2. Capital allocations for trusts are capital planning totals.
- 3. The 1994–95 capital expenditure figures are unaudited and therefore provisional.
- 4. Capital expenditure represents capital additions, as shown in annual accounts, which includes assets purchased by, and assets donated to, authorities/trusts.
- 5. Changes were made to the definition of capital spending in 1993–94. Some items of expenditure formerly treated as capital are now treated as revenue.
- 6. RHAs were restructured in 1994–95.
