§ Mr. LivseyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the total budget of family practitioner committees for the years 1988–89, 1989–90 and the predicted forecast for the year 1990–91; and if he will itemise the family practitioner committee budget breakdown for each health authority for each of the years identified above.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThe financial allocations made to family practitioner committees in Wales—re-titled family health services authorities from 17 September 1990) for their administration revenue expenditure are shown in table 1.
Apart from identifying separately the amounts built in for certain fixed costs, over which an FHSA has no discretion, these cash-limited budgets are not disaggregated into discrete items when they are allocated. It is for each FHSA to decide how its administration revenue budget is best used in accordance with statutory requirements and such directions and guidance as might be given to them.
73WIn addition to their administration revenue budgets, FHSAs are responsible with effect from the present financial year, for delegated, cash-limited, budgets covering expenditure on a proportion of general medical practitioners' practice staff and premises costs. These are shown for each FHSA in Wales at table 2.
