Mr. Bayley

National health service trusts are required to make a 6 per cent. return on their net relevant assets, not a target figure in cash terms. Tables showing the actual return achieved in percentage terms by each trust for 1994–95 is contained in "NHS Trusts: 1994/95 Financial Performance", copies of which are available in the Library.
