§ 28. Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he makes of the health needs of different areas in determining funding for health authorities. [5637]
§ Mr. HoramThe national weighted capitation formula uses forecast resident population figures which are then weighted for relative levels of health need. First, an adjustment is made to take account of the age structure of the population. Secondly, an adjustment is made to take account of residual need over and above that already accounted for by age. This takes the form of two separate needs indices, one for general and acute services, and another for psychiatric services which reflect a number of socio-economic factors associated with the demand for health care.
§ Ms JowellTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the health authorities with a revenue funding surplus at the end of the financial year 1995–96 and those his Department estimates will record a surplus at the end of the current financial year. [4235]
