§ Tim LoughtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the impact on the Adur, Arun and Worthing primary care trust area of his Department's health policies since 1997, expressed(a) in total terms and (b) by expenditure by head of population compared with equivalent national average figures. [134780]
§ Ms Rosie WintertonFigures are provided for Adur, Arun and Worthing Primary Care Trust (PCT) and in total for all PCTs in England in 2002–2003.
It is not possible to provide any historic figures due to the re-organisation of the National Health Service. The Adur, Arun and Worthing PCT has only been in existence for the one year 2002–03.
Total commissioning expenditure and expenditure per resident head of population is shown—weighted population figures are not available for PCT areas. It should also be noted that the individual and national figures are not directly comparable because the strategic health authorities would have differing commissioning policies in different areas.
