To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to table 5 on page Ev 10 of her Department's Memorandum to the Health Committee entitled Public Expenditure on Health and Personal Social Services 2006, HC 1692-i, published on 21 November 2006, if she will publish the table with all figures from the financial years 1997-98 to 2005-06; and if she will provide estimates for the 2006-07 financial year. (106169)

The Health Select Committee briefing data (table 5) was constructed using data collected from national health service trusts as part of the in-year financial monitoring system. The data are not audited, and have more limited detail than the information collected from the annual accounts. It is not possible therefore to publish the equivalent table for previous years.
