§ Mr. DenhamThe planned and actual expenditure in the National Health Service in the north-west from 1997–98 up until 1999–2000 is as follows:
£ billion Planned expenditure Actual expenditure 1997–98 3.68 4.11 1998–99 4.01 4.51 1999–2000 4.61 5.27 Notes:
There are three main factors to consider in reviewing these figures: Unlike the actual figures shown, planned expenditure collected at the beginning of the year does not include expenditure on services that are treated as non-cash limited;Secondly, significant allocations are received during the year, after plans are submitted. These allocations comprise new money to the NHS, and also changes to the way in which funding to NHS trusts is provided; andOne-off items of expenditure can effect comparisons with related plans and previous years.
