HC Deb 24 March 1995 vol 257 cc389-90W
Mr. Bayley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health to what extent table 6 of her latest departmental annual report understates the amount of money the north-west region of the national health service should receive under the Government"s new weighted capitation formula. [15865]

Mr. Sackville

For 1995–96, the allocation for North West regional health authority if based fully on weighted capitation using the modified national formula, would be £3,217,091,000. The figure of £2,217.1 million for North West regional health authority in table 6, column 2 of the departmental report 1995 is incorrect.

Copies of the departmental report entitled "The Government"s Expenditure Plans 1995–96 to 1997–98", Cm 2812, which are available in the Library, will be amended accordingly. I am grateful to the hon. Member for bringing this to my attention.
