| 2. The population figures used take no account of people who are provided with treatment outside their region of residence nor are they adjusted for differences in the morbidity and age/sex structure of regional populations. | |||||||
| 3. The expenditure of boards of governors of the postgraduate teaching hospitals in London has been excluded from the figures for the Thames regions. | |||||||
