HC Deb 06 July 2000 vol 353 c285W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what has been the total increase in revenue and capital budgets to(a) Bury and Rochdale health authority and (b) Bury NHS Health Care Trust for each financial year since 1995–96. [128003]

Mr. Denham

Health authorities have existed in their current form only since 1 April 1996. Therefore the cash increase for Bury and Rochdale health authority since 1996–97 is as follows:

£ million
1996–97 6.6
1997–98 6.7
1998–99 8.9
1999–2000 116.4
2000–01 223.7
1Allocations for 1999–2000 are not comparable with those for 1996–97 to 1998–99 which cover hospital and community health services only. 1999–2000 is the first year of unified allocations which cover hospital and community health services, prescribing and general practice infrastructure.
2Includes an element of the extra £660 million announced by the Secretary of State on 28 March 2000.
