HC Deb 12 July 2001 vol 371 cc590-9W
Ms Buck

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list for each health authority the rate on the Years of Life Lost index used for the interim health inequalities adjustment in 2001–02 allocations, indicating which health authorities received an allocation under the health inequalities adjustment. [2956]

Mr. Hutton

The table ranks health authorities by the Years of Life Lost index used for the health inequalities adjustment and shows the adjustment received with 2001–02 allocations.

£70 million was shared between the 47 health authorities with rates at or above 137 on the Years of Life Lost index. This supplemented the £60 million health inequalities funding for health authorities with Health Action Zones.

Ms Buck

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list health authorities in order of their distance from target in 2001–02, showing(a) the cash amount and (b) the percentage increase on their baselines directed towards moving under-target authorities closer to their weighted capitation targets for (a) 1999–2000, (b) 2000–01 and (c) 2001–02. [2958]

Mr. Hutton

For 2001–02, the distribution of extra resources was on the following basis:

  1. (a) every health authority received a general increase to meet the pressures they all face calculated pro rata to their baselines;
  2. (b) funding for implementing the NHS Plan was issued pro rata to their weighted capitation targets.

(No funding was specifically directed towards moving under target HAs to target.)
