HC Deb 09 February 1988 vol 127 cc211-3W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the percentage change in(a) revenue expenditure and (b) capital expenditure on hospital and community health services as deflated by the gross domestic product deflator for (i) the Greater London district health authorities in total and (ii) the inner London district health authorities in total, between 1981–82 and 1986–87.

Mr. Newton

[holding answer 8 February 1988]: The 1982 reorganisation of the National Health Service resulted in significant boundary changes and changes of management responsibility. Figures for expenditure in inner London are not available prior to 1982–83. The table shows the real-terms growth in inner London between 1982–83 and 1986–87, and in Greater London between 1981–82 and 1986–87 and between 1982–83 and 1986–87.
