HC Deb 19 October 1999 vol 336 cc473-5W
Mr. Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the levels of spending on health per head of the population in each county of England in each year since 1995–96. [94312]

Mr. Denham

Levels of spending on health per head of the population are given in the table.

Expenditure levels per head of population on health are not available by county, but figures based on health authorities have been provided as the nearest figures available. In some cases the health authority area may approximate to a county boundary, but this is not the position for all health authorities.

Expenditure in 1995–96 is not included because information is not available on a comparable basis.

Notes:

  1. 1. 1998–99 expenditure information is provisional
  2. 2. For 1997–98 and 1998–99 the majority of drugs expenditure has been accounted for by the Prescription Pricing Authority rather than individual health authorities. Also the majority of General Dental Service expenditure is not available by health authority. A total national position is shown including these two elements.
