Notes:

1 The information provided relates to the actual or estimated cash spent by each authority in the period reviewed, for the years 1983–84 to 1986–87 it is taken from DHA annual accounts.

2 The figures for 1987–88 are estimates; actual figures will not be available until after 30 June when the health authorities submit their annual financial statements for 1987–88.

3 The figures provided for 1988–89 reflect current allocations. These will be subject to change in respect of funds for centrally directed developments, provision for which is currently held in central reserves, and for each authority's share of the extra money which has been made available in respect of the additional cost of this year's Review Bodies' awards over the allowance for inflation in their allocations. Authorities may also transfer funds between their revenue and capital allocations or borrow or lend funds under brokerage arrangements and such action would further effect the 1988–89 figures.

Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will provide a table showing the revenue expenditure of each district health authority in Wales for each year since 1979 both at 1988 and outturn prices.

Mr. Grist

The resources currently available to each authority for 1988–89 are detailed in the table. These allocations will be subject to change during the course of the year as funds for centrally directed developments are released and for the extra funds which have been made available for the additional costs of this year's review bodies' awards, over and above the allowance for inflation in authorities' initial allocations. Allocations may also be subject to further adjustment in the event of authorities transferring funds from revenue to capital or vice versa or borrowing or lending funds under brokerage arrangements.
