§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will provide final figures for expenditure on (a) contractual arrangements for patient care and (b) income and debt incurred under sections 65 and 66 of the National Health Service Act 1977 given on a provisional basis in his answers of 24 November 1986, Official Report, columns 21–22 and 28.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe figures previously provided were taken from the annual accounts of health authorities. Although the statutory auditor has completed his audit of the individual authority accounts, the Comptroller and Auditor General has yet to finalise his audit of the summarised accounts prior to his report to Parliament. There have been no amendments to the figures previously provided, but, pending the submission to Parliament of the summarised accounts, the figures should still be regarded as provisional.
