HC Deb 21 January 1994 vol 235 c882W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the budget of each family health services authority convened by the London implementation group for each year from 1990 to 1995.

1. Dr. Mawhinney

Expenditure for the years 1990–91 to 1992–93 of each family health service authority whose area falls wholly or in part in the London initiative zone is shown in the table.

Budgets are not set for family health services as most elements of expenditure are demand-led and funded accordingly. Budgets for FHSA cash-limited expenditure are issued by regional health authorities and are not available centrally.
