Allocations for 1999–2000 onwards are not comparable with those for 1997–98 and 1998–99 which cover hospital and community health services only. 1999–2000 was the first year of unified allocations, which cover hospital and community health services, prescribing and discretionary general medical services.

From 2003–04 allocations are made to PCTs.
