(b) Mid-year estimates of resident populations—1984 to 1988 (Office of Population, Censuses and Surveys).

Notes:

1. Capital expenditure and expenditure on family practitioner services is excluded.

2. The figures for hospital services include all revenue expenditure incurred by health authorities on all their hospital sites. The figures for Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) cover total revenue expenditure including that on hospital, community health, patient transport (ie ambulance), blood transfusion and other services.

3. The population figures used make no allowance for people resident in one region who receive treatment in another or for differences in morbidity and age/sex structure of particular populations.

4. The figures for the Thames regions are influenced by the fact that South West Thames Regional Health Authority (RHA) now accounts for the entire cost of the London Ambulance Service which was formerly shared by all four Thames RHAs.
