Changes (in line with best accounting practice) since 1979 in the accounting and financial reporting arrangements for Health Authorities and subsequently NHS trusts mean that comparable information is not available prior to 1984–85. The changes also mean that the figures provided over the period 1984–85 through to 1998–99 are not directly comparable.
