[holding answer 27 April 2004]: The information requested is shown in the table. The forecast split of public dividend capital (PDC) between national health service trusts and NHS foundation trusts for 2004–05 will be refined during the year as better information becomes available on NHS foundation trusts spending plans and in year starts.
