Footnotes:
1. All figures are to the nearest £ million.
2. The data is based on unaudited estimates for the 90 former FHSAs until 1995-96. From 1996-97 FHSAs merged to become Health authorities.
3. The figure for Cost Rents excludes GP Fundholder savings spend.
4. LA economic rents were previously only separately identifiable from cost rents as of 1994-95. The actual LA rents figures from 1994-95 to 1996-97 are 1,260-1,280-1,251 (£000s)
(5) *Cost rents and LA Economic rents data merged for 1997-98 returns as part of the NHS Efficiency Scrutiny.
(6) Improvement Grants data for 1997-98 returns are split to include Health Centres and other data lines.

4.4 INFLATION
Can the Department provide a breakdown of the components of
the health specific inflation indices for revenue spending on
HCHS and FHS respectively, together with capital spending on HCHS,
for 1995-96 and 1996-97, together with estimates for 1997-98?
The tables for the HCHS should show separate inflation indices
for Review Body staff and non-Review Body staff pay, and whatever
other breakdowns of staff are available.
1. Information on the components of the HCHS and FHS
service inflation indices is given below. Differences in methodology
and presentation of these indices reflect the differences between
the services to which they refer.
HCHS Pay and Price Inflation
2. Increases in the cost of goods and services, ie the
non-pay components of inflation, are measured by the Health Service
Cost Index (HSCI). The HSCI weights together price increases for
a broad range of items used by the health service—for example,
drugs, medical equipment, fuel, telephone charges—using
weights derived from expenditure on these various goods and services
reported in financial returns.
3. Pay inflation is calculated using increases in expenditure
across certain staff groups. Following the introduction of new
occupation codes for NHS staff, in April 1995, causing a data
discontinuity, it is no longer possible to calculate robust measures
of pay inflation for review body and non-review body staff separately.
4. Table 4.4.1 gives details of the pay and non-pay components
used in calculating HCHS pay and price inflation.
