To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the allocations he proposes to make to national health service regions in England for 1991–92; and what these allocations would be if the weighted capitation funding were strictly adhered to.
1991–92 represented the second year of progress towards allocations based on weighted capitation. Table 1 shows the 1991–92 main revenue allocations for each region and the percentage increases over 1990–91. No region received less than a 10·24 per cent. increase.
Table 2 shows what each region would have received without a minimum 10·24 per cent. increase.
The figures exclude allocations for items such as the service increment for teaching and research, joint finance, and allocations for other specific purposes.
