§ Paddy TippingTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the additional resources required to bring the Nottingham health authority up to 100 per cent. of its weighted capitation in(a) cash and (b) percentage terms. [11306]
§ Mr. Hutton[holding answer 30 October 2001]: Nottingham health authority's distance from weighted capitation target for 2001–02 is £7 million in cash terms or 1.55 per cent. below target. For 2001–02, Nottingham health authority received an allocation of £465 million, which is an increase of £39 million in cash terms or 9.15 per cent. The weighted capitation formula is used to set targets that inform allocations, but the formula does not determine allocations.
