HC Deb 03 July 1990 vol 175 c539W
61. Mr. Kennedy

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the real terms increase in health expenditure since June 1987.

Mr. Dorrell

Expenditure information is available only for financial years. Planned expenditure for the NHS (England) in 1990–91 is £23.5 billion. This will mean a real terms increase since 1987–88 of 9.7 per cent.
