To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent on (a) administration and (b) management costs by each primary care trust in England in the last year for which figures are available, expressed (i) as a percentage of their total budget and (ii) as the cost per head of population in areas they cover. (34206)

[pursuant to the reply, 27 April 2006, Official Report, c. 1295W]: I regret that owing to a clerical error the table placed in the Library in the previous reply is incorrect.

The administration costs (both “as a percentage of net operating costs” and “expenditure per head”) for two primary care trusts (St. Helens and Teignbridge) were shown incorrectly, and this also affected the England administration costs “expenditure per head” total figure.

The correct table will be placed in the Library.
