1 A spend per capita figure for South Tyneside in 2002-03 is not available centrally, as the spend in this particular area cannot be disaggregated from the data held in respect of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Strategic Health Authority.

Note:

Expenditure data used in the calculation of spend per capita values is taken from the audited summarisation schedules of national health service bodies, 2002-03 to 2008-09.

The amount spent by the NHS in England per capita for 1997-98 to 2001-02 is separately shown in the following table. Expenditure figures for these years are only available at a consolidated national level, from the published NHS summarised accounts. It is not possible to disaggregate spend in specific constituencies or regions from these figures.
