Mr. O'Halloran

The following table has been compiled from the accounts of the 16 area health authorities, 12 boards of governors of teaching hospitals and local authorities in the Greater London Council area, together with the expenditure that can be identified in the accounts of the four Thames regional health authorities as relating to that area. It is not possible to identify elements of central administration relating to the Greater London area only.
