1. For 1976-77 expenditure on services which are financed centrally and not attributable to particular areas has been excluded. Expenditure figures for 1977-78 are not yet available and the figures given are based on the cash limit—but for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly AHA includes the cost of senior medical staff (revenue) and major capital works which are part of the South Western RHA's budget—as are the figures for 1978-79.
2. The expenditure for 1976-77 and the cash limits (as adjusted for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly AHA) for 1977-78 and 1978-79 have been related to 1976 mid-year estimate of resident population nationally. In calculating the figures for the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly AHA account has not been taken of the cost of nor the population served by the hospital service in East Cornwall which is managed by the Devon Area Health Authority.
3. No account has been taken of expenditure on the family practitioner services.
4. All the revenue figures shown are influenced by the payment of London weighting allowance to staff and by the incidence of additional expenditure in the provision of facilities for the clinical teaching of medical and dental students.
5. The population figures used take no account of provision of treatment for patients outside their area of residence (e.g. at Plymouth), nor are they adjusted for differences in the morbidity and age/sex structure of the relative populations.
