HC Deb 18 February 1992 vol 204 cc112-3W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish figures for each district health authority showing their revenue and capital allocations for NHS review expenditure in 1990–91 and 1991–92.

Mr. Dorrell

This information is not held centrally.

Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish table 3 of Cm 1913 adjusted for input unit costs.

Mr. Dorrell

The information requested for the hospital and community health services—HCHS—family health services and for the health service as a whole for the years 1986–87 and 1990–91 is given in the table. Information is not available in this form for other parts of the programme or for later years.

This information measures changes in total inputs at constant factor cost but ignores the continuing success of the national health service in increasing the efficiency with which it uses resources. Therefore, in order to give a complete picture, figures adjusted by the GDP deflator have also been included.

Since it has not been possible to adjust these figures for certain review-related changes, figures for 1991–92 onwards are not directly comparable with those for earlier years. The main points are:

  1. i. Sums provided for trust debt remuneration are included in HCHS current in 1991–92 and 1992–93;
  2. ii. Trusts' capital financed via health authorities' payments for services is included in HCHS current for 1991–92 and 1992–93;
  3. iii. GP fund holders' expenditure on drugs is included in HCHS current in 1991–92 only.

Further explanation is given in paragraph 3.4 of the departmental report and other tables, for example, table 9 which gives the full picture of HCHS capital spending.

Expenditure figures as they appear in table 3 of Cm 1913 adjusted for changes in input unit costs and by the GDP deflator (all at 1990–91 prices)
