4.  BREAKDOWN OF SPENDING PROGRAMME

4.1  General Breakdown

  4.1.1  What was HCHS expenditure by service sector and age group in (a) 2003-04 and (b) 2004-05? (Q47)

  ANSWER

  1.  The information for 2003-04 is given in Table 47a to Table 47c. From 2004-05 the data required to calculate HCHS expenditure by service sector and age group ceased to be collected. Instead, DH initiated a replacement data collection to collect expenditure on a Programme Budgeting basis—see questions 6 and 7 for further details.

  2.  Services aimed specifically, or mainly, at the elderly account for 6% of total HCHS expenditure. However, those aged 65 and over accounted for 43% of total expenditure despite being only 16% of the population. This is mainly due to high levels of spend in other sectors, with 56% of acute expenditure, and significant proportions of expenditure on services for mentally ill people being used by this age group.

  4.1.2  Could a table be provided detailing gross expenditure on HCHS and FHS by sector in each year since 1997-98? (Q48)

  ANSWER

  1.  The information requested is contained in Table 48.

  2.  No data is available for 2004-05. The data required to calculate HCHS expenditure was collected for the final time in 2003-04. A replacement data collection was initiated on new Programme Budgeting basis—see questions 6 and 7 for further details. For FHS, data for GMS/PMS is no longer available in the current format due to the introduction of the new GMS contract in 2004; data after this point is not comparable with previous.

  Footnotes:

1.  Personal Medical Services (PMS) and Personal Dental Services (PDS) schemes are Primary Care Act pilots designed to test locally-managed approaches to the delivery of primary care. PDS and PMS expenditure figures exclude any related capital investment by NHS Trusts; PDS expenditure figures are also gross of patient charge income.

2.  All HCFHS figures are on a cash basis for the years 1997-98 to 2000-01, whereas from 2001-02 is a resource basis.

3.  The 2003-04 Drugs expenditure has been revised to £6,963 million from £6,948 million (2005 PEI) in line with FHS gross expenditure figures from the Departmental Report 2006, figure 6.10.

4.2  Primary Care Trust (PCT) Allocations

  4.2.1  Can the Department detail (a) Primary Care Trust allocations (b) distance from target allocation in £000s and in percentage terms and (c) allocations per weighted and unweighted head of population in each year from 2003-04 to 2007-08 in each Strategic Health Authority area? Can data for individual PCTs be provided as an appendix? (Q49)

  ANSWER

  1.  The information requested is given in Table 49a and Table 49b.
