§ Mr. AshdownTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his estimate of expenditure per head in real terms on the National Health Service for(a) each English county and (b) each English health authority for each year since 1992; and if he will make a statement. [106744]
§ Mr. Denham[holding answer 26 January 2000]: Levels of spending on health per weighted head of population in real terms are shown in the table.
Expenditure levels per weighted head of population on health are not available by county. Figures based on health authorities have been provided. In some cases the health authority may approximate to a county but this is not the position for all health authorities.
224WExpenditure in 1995–96 and earlier years is not included because information is not available on a comparable basis.
Figures are taken from health authority annual accounts which are prepared on resource basis and therefore differ from cash allocations in each year.
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. For all three years the majority of General Dental Service expenditure is not accounted for by health authorities. A total national position is shown including these two elements.
