§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will give for each health and social services board the revenue and capital expenditure on National Health Service services in each year since 1974, expressing the figures (a) in money terms, (b) adjusted by the gross domestic product deflator and (c) adjusted by the movement of National Health Service pay and prices.
§ Mr. Needham[pursuant to his reply, 2 December 1985, c. 46]: The following tables show revenue and capital expenditure on health services by health and social services boards in each year from 1974–75 to 1984–85.
The national movement in Health Service pay and prices has been applied to the combined total of board expenditure, as it might be misleading to apply it to the differing composition of the expenditure of individual boards.
