HC Deb 21 February 1992 vol 204 cc327-31W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will give for the northern region and its constituent areas and districts, for each year from 1978–79 onwards, current expenditure on the hospital and community health services(a) in cash terms and (b) adjusted for NHS pay and prices.

Mr. Dorrell

Tables I and II show the information requested for the northern region.

Both tables show expenditure in cash and in input volume terms. Changes in input volumes are, however, an inadequate guide to the level of service the NHS can be expected to achieve, since they do not reflect the continuing success of the NHS in increasing the efficiency with which it uses its resources. The third column of each table therefore shows the relevant expenditure figures in real terms, ie adjusted by the GDP deflator.

Notes to the tables:

1. Expenditure on the HCHS covers services directly managed and/or accounted for by the health authorities (at the relevant time) including hospital, community health, patient transport (i.e. ambulance), blood transfusion and other services.

2. The figures are derived from the annual accounts of the regional health authority (RHA) and the area health authorities (district health authorities from 1 April 1982) comprising the Northern region. 1990–91 figures are as yet subject to audit.

3. The volume input terms column of each table shows the cash figures for the relevant year expressed at 1990–91 prices after adjustment by the HCHS pay and prices index.

4. The real terms column of each table shows the cash figures for the relevant year expressed in 1990–91 prices after adjustment by the GDP deflator.
