[Official Report, 30 November 2009, Vol. 501, c. 531W.]

Letter of correction from Mr. Mike O’Brien:

An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Chesham and Amersham (Mrs. Gillan) on 30 November 2009. I am sorry that in the table relating to per capita spend the two figures for the year 2006-07 were incorrect.

The correct answer is:

Mr. Mike O'Brien
The amount spent per capita in total in England by all primary care trusts (PCTs) and by Buckinghamshire PCT, in each of the last three years, is shown in the following table.
