Answer: Mr. Pike: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much funding has been made available for frontline health services in Burnley in each year since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [219493] Miss Melanie Johnson: The tables show the revenue allocations made to East Lancashire Health Authority (HA) between 1996-97 and 2002-03 and Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Primary Care Trust (PCT) between 2003-04 and 2007-08. Revenue allocations to East Lancashire HA: 1996-97 to 2002-03 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. £000 1996-971 230,808 1997-981 240,684 1998-991 253,100 1999-20001 349,892 2000-011 384,249 2001-021 416,738 2002-031 461,132 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Revenue allocations to Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale PCT: 2003-04 to 2007-08 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. £000 2003-041 241,264 2004-051 264,963 2005-061 289,574 2006-072 339,612 2007-082 371,238 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Between 1996-97 and 2002-03, revenue allocations were made to HAs. From 2003-04, revenue allocations were made to PCTs. Therefore, it is not possible to compare the allocations made prior to 2003-04 with those made from 2003-04 as they were made to different organisations. Unified allocations covering hospital and community health services (HCHS), prescribing and general medical services cash limited allocations were first made in 1999-2000. Therefore, the allocation figures from 1999-2000 are not comparable with previous years which cover HCHS only. 2 Allocations for 2006-07 and 2007-08 are not directly comparable with previous years because there have been significant baseline changes since the last allocations round--for example, devolution of £5 billion funding for general practitioners--which inflate the increases.
