§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if, on the basis of the information currently available to his Department in respect of the 2001–02 outturn figures, he will list the NHS trusts and other bodies which used brokerage to remain within their revenue resource limits, capital resource limits and cash limits; and the amount of that brokerage. [56281]
§ Mr. Hutton[holding answer 14 May 2002]: The information for 2001–02 is not yet finalised.
§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how much of the allocation for 2002-03 for each primary care trust is earmarked for(a) mental health, (b) coronary heart disease, (c) cancer, (d) information management and technology, (e) primary care and (f) capacity; [56284]
(2) how much of the allocation for 2002–03 for each primary care trust is (a) recurrent and (b) non-recurrent. [56287]
§ Mr. Hutton[holding answer 10 May 2002]: Health authorities share their total recurrent allocation between their constituent primary care trusts (PCTs) in line with guidance issued by the Department.
In 2002–03 health authorities were instructed to allocate earmarked funding to PCTs on the same basis allocations were made to health authorities.
Figures on primary care trust shares of health authority total recurrent allocations and earmarked funding within this have been placed in the Library. Information on the allocation of the non-recurrent funding to primary care trusts is not collected centrally.

[56285]
§ Mr. Hutton[holding answer 14 May 2002]: This information is not available centrally. However, it is expected that this type of information would form part of the overall commissioning plans of primary care trusts. Strategic health authorities have a responsibility in performance managing the delivery of these plans.
