§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the expenditure by each regional health authority in each year since 1978–79 in cash terms and adjusted for changes in input unit costs.
§ Mr. Dorrell[holding answer 16 April 1991]: Tables showing the total revenue and total capital expenditure by regional health authorities for the years since 1978–79 have been placed in the Library.
The figures for RHAs are influenced by the extent to which they directly manage and account for services, including capital schemes; the balance of such responsibility between the RHA and the district health authorities comprising each region varies from one region to another and has been subject to changes over the period. Additional tables showing expenditure by health regions—RHAs and DHAs—have therefore been provided.
