The statistics requested are given in the following table. It should be noted that expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) and expenditure per head are calculated using HM Treasury published information (see notes to table). UK figures are supplied for expenditure as a proportion of GDP as GDP is published on a UK basis.

This is in line with HMT Guidance Expenditure per head. 8 Expenditure/head calculated as reported in evidence to the Public Expenditure Inquiry 2008; this uses the Health Expenditure as defined under the HM Treasury's Total Expenditure on Services (TES aggregate). This definition allows comparison on the same basis between England and the Devolved Administrations. The TES definition of Health Expenditure for England includes most Department of Health revenue resource near cash (excludes certain items e.g. grants to local authorities) plus local authority spending on health plus DIUS' Medical Research Council spending plus National Lottery spending on health. Expenditure as percentage of GDP 9 Expenditure as a percentage of GDP is calculated using HM Treasury data published in Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses.
