The table shows income under section 121 of the National Health Service Act 1977 but does not include income received under sections 65 and 66 of the Act from overseas residents treated as private patients.
The table shows net income; the negative figure for West Glamorgan is a result of the cancellation of a bill raised in an earlier year.
