Notes:

1. Figures for 1996-97 and 1997-98 have been shown in real terms, with 1998-99 as the baseline, using the GDP deflator.

2. Expenditure is taken from HA Annual Accounts which are prepared on a resource basis and therefore differ from cash allocations in each year (These are not the total amounts spent on healthcare. General Dental Services expenditure is separately accounted for and cannot be analysed by health authority over the three years). Since 1997-98 drugs expenditure has been mainly accounted for by the Prescription Pricing Authority. For consistency figures have been reduced by the amount of non-cash limited prescribing expenditure accounted for by the health authority in each year.)
