The capital allocations to regional hospital boards and regional health authorities were exclusive of sums made available to them for special purposes e.g. for teaching hospitals where actual expenditure has been funded by the department.
The under/over spendings are related to the quoted allocations—that is, excluding special allocations, and comprise differences arising within the financial year in respect of small schemes and the differences arising on large schemes completing in the year although the latter will have accrued over the several years of construction. These differences are adjusted in making allocations of capital for subsequent years.
