Notes:
All figures have been adjusted to reflect the transfer of Public Health Laboratory Services from the HCHS to CHMS.
Figures in column A have been adjusted to reflect the transfer of the Family Health Service administration, the Family Health Services cash limited spending and the Disablement Services Authority partly to the HCHS and partly to CHMS, (and also take account of changes since 1990–91 relating to the NHS reforms). Figures in column B do not reflect these transfers and are therefore not comparable with those for later years.
