Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the regional health authorities in rank order according to the percentage of National Health Service money(a) allocated to the regions in 1989–90 and (b) that will be allocated in 1990–91 using the new formula.

Mr. Freeman

[holding answer 15 February 1996]: The table gives the ranking of each regional health authority according to the percentage of National Health Service money allocated in 1989–90 and 1990–91:

Region Ranking 1989–90 Ranking 1990–91
Northern 10 10
Yorkshire 6 6
Trent 2 2
East Anglian 14 14
North West Thames 7 7
North East Thames 4 4
South East Thames 5 5
South West Thames 8 8
Wessex 11 11
Oxford 13 13
South Western 9 9
West Midlands 1 1
Mersey 12 12
North Western 3 3

Notes:

1. 1989–90 is based on allocations for services provided in the region using the resource allocation working party formula (RAWP).

2. 1990–91 is based on the allocations for resident population, calculated using the new allocation formula, adjusted for the effect of cross boundary flows, so that they are on a comparable basis to 1989–90.

3. Both 1989–90 and 1990–91 are before the additions for SIFT supra-regional services and other special additions specific to individual regions.
