HC Deb 15 July 1992 vol 211 cc737-8W
Sir Michael Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the district health authorities in England and Wales whose 1992–93 revenue allocation is greater than 5, 10 and 15 per cent. below the target capitation figure which has been agreed by their regional health authorities.

Mr. Sackville

Allocations to district health authorities are the responsibility of the regional health authorities. The following information has been supplied by individual regional health authorities, and are not directly comparable. They should be taken as a broad indication of the relative positions of districts.

The table shows the districts whose 1992–93 revenue allocation is more than 5 per cent., and more than 10 per cent., less than their weighted capitation share. There is only one district, Worthing, whose 1992–93 revenue allocation is more than 15 per cent. under its weighted capitation share.

The information relating to Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
