§ Mr. JenkinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list for each health authority in the West Midlands (i) the total funding allocation and (ii) the funding per capita for health services for each year between 1987 and 1999, indicating for each year the (1) planned and (2) actual funding allocation by his Department; and if he will make a statement. [74857]
§ Mr. DenhamFigures have been given for 1996–97 onwards as health authorities in their present form did not exist prior to that year.
The following tables give, for each health authority in the West Midlands:
- 1. actual allocation for crude and weighted head of population;
- 2. target allocation for crude and weighted head of population.
The target is the health authority's fair share of resources as calculated by the weighted capitation formula which is then used to inform the allocation. Health authorities are moved closer to their target over time through the differential distribution of growth.
Crude populations are based on figures supplied by the Office for National Statistics. Weighted populations are crude populations modified for age, need and unavoidable geographical costs as determined by the weighted capitation formula.

Note:
Targets and allocations for 1999–2000 are not comparable with those for earlier years which only covered hospital community health services (HCHS). This is because from 1999–2000 allocations were unified to cover the three funding streams of HCHS, prescribing and general practice infrastructure.
