§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how much money was allocated to Trent regional health authority purchasers in each year since 1990; and what percentage this represents of all revenue funding for hospital and community health services in each year.
§ Mr. SackvilleAllocations to district health authorities as purchasers of health care were made for the first time in the 1991–92 financial year. It is the responsibility of regional health authorities to allocate resources to districts and this information is not separately identifiable in the information collected by the Department.
Expenditure by district health authorities in Trent in 1991–92 and 1992–93 is shown in the table; it excludes expenditure by general practitioner fundholders. The figures for individual authorities over the two years are not directly comparable in every case because of boundary changes.
Figures for 1993–94 are not yet available.
Trent district health authorities' expenditure accounted for 8.7 per cent. of the total expenditure by district health authorities in England in 1991–92 and 9.2 per cent. in 1992–93.
