23. Mr. Andrew Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the expenditure of the Nottingham health authority in 1978–79 and in 1990–91 in real terms; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dorrell

The Nottingham health authority was established on 1 April 1982. Between 1982–83 and 1989–90, the latest year for which figures are available, revenue expenditure increased from £113.1 million—cash—to £184.3 million—cash—and capital expenditure from £6.6 million—cash—to £15.3 million—cash. These represent increases in real terms of 13 per cent. for revenue and 59–9 per cent. for capital, measured at 1989–90 prices.
