§ Dr. MawhinneyExpenditure per capita by district health authorities in inner London, at £553, is higher than that of all the other major cities included in my reply to the hon. Member for Dulwich (Ms Jowell) on 12 April at column72, with the exception of Manchester. When special health authorities' spending is added to DHA spending, inner London per capita spend is 56 per cent. above the national average.

The table also shows the effects of including expenditure by the London postgraduate SHAs which were funded centrally in 1992–93.
