| Footnotes: |
| Expenditure figures pre-2002-03:
|
| 1. Expenditure pre 1999-2000 is on a cash basis.
|
| 2. Expenditure figures from 1999-2000 to 2002-03 are on a Stage 1 Resource Budgeting basis.
|
| 3. Per head figures are rounded to the nearest £10.
|
| Expenditure figures 2002-03 to 2008-09:
|
| 4. Health expenditure is defined under the HM Treasury's total expenditure on services (TES aggregate). This definition allows comparison on the same basis between England and the devolved administrations. The TES definition of health expenditure for England includes most Department of Health revenue resource near cash (excludes certain items, eg grants to local authorities) plus local authority spending on health plus DIUS' Medical Research Council spending plus National Lottery spending on health.
|
| 5. Near cash can be defined as transactions that have an impact on cash flow in the short term, eg pay and pension costs, revenue expenditure on goods and services, or cash payments for the release of provisions.
|
| 6. Figures are not consistent over the period (1997-98 to 2008-09), therefore it is difficult to make comparisons across different periods.
|
| 7. Figures may not be consistent with those published elsewhere due to updated sources.
