§ Mr. SackvilleInformation on revenue spending on the residents of specific districts is not collected by the Department since it is not required for operational reasons. The hon.

§ Mr. BayleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent by North Yorkshire health authority in 1993–94; and what is its budget for 1994–95.
§ Mr. SackvilleIt is the responsibility of regional health authorities to allocate resources to their district health authorities. Information on the total allocations and cash limits made by regions to districts is not required for operational purposes and is therefore not collected by the Department. The hon. Members may wish to contact the chairman of the Northern and Yorkshire regional health authority, Mr. John Greetham, to request details of the 1994–95 budget. Information on 1993–94 expenditure by North Yorkshire health authority will become available from the annual accounts when these are received later in the year.
