1. Figures for 1997–98 and 1998–99 have been shown in real terms, with 1999–2000 as the baseline, using the GDP deflator.
2. Expenditure is taken from Health Authority Annual Accounts or Summarisation Forms which are prepared on a resource basis and therefore differ from cash allocations in each year. The expenditure is the total spent on the purchase of healthcare by the Health Authority. The majority of General Dental Services for all three years and an element of drugs expenditure for 1997–98 and 1998–99 is not included in the health authority accounts and is separately accounted for. All drugs expenditure is included in the 1999–2000 figures.
3. Figures differ from those provided at Official Report, vol.352, columns 358–60W, as pharmaceutical services expenditure was excluded in the former answer to assist comparability. Comparability is not possible in this answer owing to the difference in reporting resulting from the formation of primary care groups. The GDP deflator and base years are also different between the answers.
4. Where N/A appears in the table, this refers to the result of the mergers of Cambridge and Huntingdon, East Norfolk and North West Anglia Health Authorities to give Cambridgeshire and Norfolk Health Authorities on 1 April 1999.
