band 1 £20,420
band 2 £18,154

Table 1 shows the allowance band for the chairs of the primary care tusts in Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Dales and South Derbyshire band 3
Erewash band 3
Greater Derby band 2
High Peak and Dales band 3
North East Derbyshire band 2

Chief executive salaries are not collected centrally.

Of the 8 primary care trusts in Derbyshire, only Central Derby Primary Care Trust was operational in 2000–01. The total expenditure, or gross operating cost, of the primary care trust for that year was £70.08 million. Total expenditure figures for 2001–02 and 2002–03 are not yet available.

For each of the three years, the Department has made allocations to health authorities, and health authorities have subsequently made allocations to primary care groups and primary care trusts within their area.

Table 2 shows the allocation and distance from target in 2000–01 for the 9 previously existing primary care groups (PCGs) in Derbyshire. All of the primary care groups became part of primary care trusts in 2001.
