Notes:

1. The England figure includes expenditure reported in the audited health authority and strategic health authority summarisation schedules for 1997-98 to 2007-08, plus the audited PCT summarisation schedules 2001-02 to 2007-08 and the dental and pharmaceutical services expenditure for England reported by the former Dental Practice Board and Prescription Pricing Authority and the current NHS Business Services Authority.

2. PCT expenditure is from the audited summarisation schedules 2001-02 to 2007-08.

3. Population figures are ONS estimates 1997-98 to 2007-08.

4. Note that the expenditure reported by PCTs does not represent all NHS spending, e.g. strategic health authority and dental and pharmaceutical services expenditure is not included, therefore figures for the PCTs are not comparable with the all England totals.

5. Two tables have been provided for the PCTs owing to the reorganisation of the NHS in 2006 resulting in mainly new merged PCTs.
