1. 1993–94 is not comparable with subsequent years as the accounts included the provision of services which were transferred upon the establishment of a trust.
2. 1996–97 and 1997–98 are not comparable with previous years due to change in accounting policy and a reorganisation of health bodies. Departmental funding from cash drawing to an accrual figure.
3. Latest available figures are for 1997–98, therefore there are no figures for 1998–99 or for 1999–2000.
