§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Health in relation to the £120 million in his Department's spring supplementary estimate 2001–02 designated for take-up of end year flexibility, how much relates to(a) NHS trusts, (b) health authorities and (c) other NHS bodies; and which trusts, health authorities and other bodies received end year flexibility and the amount involved in each case. [46412]
§ Mr. Hutton[holding answer 26 March 2002]: The £120 million end year flexibility related to the Department's unallocated provision and was not allocated to individual NHS bodies in 2000–01. It did not form part of the end year flexibility arrangements for NHS bodies.
Adjustments to health authorities resource limits in 2001–02 as a result of health authorities and NHS trusts underspending in 2000–01 are set out in tables, copies of which have been placed in the Library. There were no adjustments for other NHS bodies.
