To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the expenditure per head of population was in the constituency of Hastings and Rye in (a) 1996-97 and (b) 2006-07. (92758)

Expenditure data are not normally available at constituency level as this rarely coincides with the boundaries of individual health bodies. Data at individual health body level are retained for seven years and therefore data for 1996-97 are not now available. Expenditure per head is derived from historical audited accounts, therefore, data are not available for 2006-07.

The figures for 1997-98 and 2004-05 for Surrey and Sussex strategic health authority are shown in the table.
