Mr. Denham

In 2000–01, 95 health authorities are closer to, and three health authorities are further away from, their weighted capitation target than Bedfordshire Health Authority.

Allocation, target and distance from target for each health authority in England are given in the table. A negative distance from target denotes an undertarget health authority.
