HC Deb 19 June 2000 vol 352 c61W
Mr. Harvey

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list for each NHS trust in Great Britain the(a) total budget and (b) amount of budget deficit, for each year since 1995 for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.[126109]

Mr. Denham

National Health Service trusts are not given budgets. They are required to break even, on an income and expenditure basis, taking one year with another.

Information on NHS trust deficits in England will be placed in the Library.

The information relating to Wales and Scotland is a matter for the devolved administrations.
