§ Mr. AingerTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much was spent by each family health service authority on payments to dental practitioners for NHS dental work in each year between 1990 and 1994, inclusive in Wales. [2060]
§ Mr. RichardsThe information requested is as follows:
£000 FHSA 1990–91 1991–92 1992–93 1993–94 1994–95 Clwyd 5,235 (424) 64 71 75 Dyfed 4,735 (373) 99 165 142 Gwent 6,667 (617) 127 148 122 Gwynedd 3,032 (252) 26 101 116 Mid Glamorgan 6,671 (655) 69 57 72 Powys 1,456 (127) 62 33 116 South Glamorgan 6,558 (597) 53 68 81 West Glamorgan 6,049 (565) 29 21 19 Dental Practice Board — 55,564 51,282 48,445 50,123 Wales 40,403 51,954 51,811 49,109 50,866 Notes:
- 1. Dental Practice Board (DPB) expenditure is shown to give the complete picture of payments to dental practitioners.
- 2. With effect from 1 April 1991 the majority of payments to dental practitioners became the responsibility of the DPB. However, due to the timetable of scheduling by the DPB, March 1991 schedules were paid in April 1991 by FHSAs. The balance of their opening creditors were met by payments made by the DPB and were recorded by FHSAs as negative expenditure. At national level the aggregate amount (FHSA and DPB consolidated together) reflects actual expenditure which is comparable with the aggregated outturns for other years.
