  Footnotes:

1.  Cash figures have been rounded to the nearest £ million and therefore totals may not sum.

  2.  Percentages are rounded to one decimal place.

  3.  Real terms growth figures differ from those given last year because of subsequent changes in GDP deflators. Where not otherwise specified, percentage change figures are calculated on gross expenditure figures and therefore differ from the Departmental Report, where increases are calculated on net expenditure.

  4.  HCHS figures differ from those used for allocations to health authorites, which include monies for minor capital items between £1,000 and £5,000 within HCHS current for accounting purposes.

  5.  HCHS and NHS current exclude funding for that element of trusts' capital expenditure which they fund from charges to healthcare purchasers (£696 million in 1993-94, £975 million in 1994-95, £1,053 million in 1995-96, £1,106 million in 1996-97, an estimated £943 million in 1997-98 and a provisional £966 million in 1998-99). This funding is included within HCHS capital.

  6.  Includes trust charges and receipts (for current, £165 million in 1993-94, £300 million in 1994-95, £331 million in 1995-96, £388 million in 1996-97 and an estimated £388 million in 1997-98; for capital, £37 million in 1993-94, £51 million in 1994-95, £72 million in 1995-96, £116 million in 1996-97 and an estimated £206 million in 1997-98). Figures for charges and receipts in 1998-99 are provisional estimates.

  7.  HCHS capital includes NHS trust capital expenditure, ie that funded from charges to health care purchasers (see footnote 5) and that financed from their EFLs (£303 million in 1993-94, £590 million in 1994-95, £401 million in 1995-96, £83 million in 1996-97, an estimated £83 million in 1997-98 and provisional figures in 1998-99). Capital investment under the Private Finance Initiative is not included in this table, which details central government's own expenditure only.

  8.  FHS non cash limited expenditure includes expenditure, met from cash limited funds, on drugs prescribed by GP fundholders of £628 million in 1993-94, £1009 million in 1994-95, £1,296 million in 1995-96, £1,794 million in 1996-97, an estimated £2,204 million in 1997-98 and a provisional £2,895 million in 1998-99.

  9.  The cost of collecting the NHS element of NI contributions is shown as non-voted expenditure in Annex B of the Departmental Report (Cm 3912).

  10.  The MCA became a trading fund on 1 April 1993. It previously operated under net Running Costs control. Prior to 1993-94 MCA figures are included in DH admin. The MCA is funded from fees from the pharmaceutical industry.

  11.  There are no centrally generated "plan" figures for local authority expenditure, including that on personal social services. However, the Government provides a view of what it considers to be an appropriate level of expenditure in PSS standard spending (current expenditure) and Annual Capital Guidelines, supplementary credit approval and direct capital grants (capital expenditure). For 1998-99 these are as follows:
£ million
    PSS standard spending8,292.9
    Annual capital guidelines45.0
    Supplementary credit approvals 14.7
    Direct capital grants8.2


  Local authorities may additionally finance capital from receipts and transfers from revenue.

  12.  The Department has not been able to update the index on PSS inflation at this stage. (See question 5.6). It has therefore not been possible to produce figures on the changes in input unit costs.

  13.  Included within the LA PSS Capital expenditure figures is the capital value of leased assets of £14 million for 1993-94, £15 million for 1994-95, £16 million for 1995-96, £15 million for 1996-97 (provisional) and £15 million for 1997-98 (provisional).

  14.  Local Authority, Health and Personal Social Services Total excludes Central Government (Specific and Special) Grants to Local Authorities and Credit Approvals (LA Capital) to avoid double counting. The total does still include an element of double counting (unquantifiable) with regard to joint working between hospitals and local authorities.

  3.  Table 2.1.2 gives a brief explanation of the main areas of expenditure in table 2.1.1.
