1Allocations prior to deduction of the hospital and community health element of GP Fundholder budgets.
2Allocations from 1992–93 onwards reflect reductions in respect of the costs of education and training when responsibility for the purchase of education and training from education providers pass to central control.
3Projected allocations based on latest resource planning assumption which, for planning purposes only, reflect 0.5 per cent. per annum real terms growth.

Collection and processing of cross-boundary data used for the revenue formula assessment by the resource allocation working group was discontinued when the weighted capitation formula for allocating health authority revenue funding was introduced in 1991–92. The identification of differences between notional allocations under the previous methodology and allocations made to authorities under the current methodology therefore cannot be provided other than at disproportionate cost.
