Footnotes
1.  Public capital spending figures are taken from the HM Treasury database, and from 2002-03 are consistent with the 2009 Departmental report, excepting the figure for 2008-09 which is from the 2008-09 Resource Accounts.
2.  Figures for disposals in the years up to and including 2007-08 are taken from audited accounts, so include disposals between trusts and PCTs, because no adjustment is made in audited accounts to produce an estimate for disposals to purchasers outside the NHS. As a consequence these figures overstate the contribution that asset disposals make to the availability of funds for capital investment in the NHS. The 2008-09 outturn is for disposals only to purchasers outside the NHS.
3.  Real increases/decreases calculated using 30 June 2009 GDP deflators.
4.  Figures estimated by the Department's Capital Investment Branch. Note that changes to figures provided last year are due to a re-profiling exercise that now aligns expenditure with build periods as opposed to the previous formula-based methodology.
