The Minister of State, Department of Health (Mr Simon Burns)
I regret that the written answer given to the right hon. Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Frank Dobson) on 25 October 2011, Official Report, column 192W, contained some incorrect figures in the table.
The information provided in the original answer contained some unvalidated data but it has subsequently been brought to my attention that the Department holds more accurate, cleansed and validated data, which have now been provided where available. I have also taken this opportunity to provide the Connecting for Health figures for 2009-10 and 2010-11 rounded to the nearest £1,000, and figures that were previously not available.
A table showing the corrected figures is given below.

1 Primary care trusts (PCTs), strategic health authorities (SHAs) and NHS trusts. The Department does not collect data from NHS foundation trusts. Where an NHS trust obtains foundation trust status part way through any year, the data provided are only for the part of the year the organisation operated as an NHS trust. Data for consultancy services expenditure were collected from NHS bodies for the first time in 2007-08. Source: NHS audited summarisation schedules. 2 Figures for 2009-10 and 2010-11 for executive non-departmental public bodies, executive agencies and special health authorities are on a different basis to those for earlier years and are therefore not directly comparable. 3 Figures included for the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) are for “Professional and administrative fees”. This category includes litigation and other legal costs as well as expenditure on consultancy services, which cannot be separately identified. 4 Figures included for the Care Quality Commission do not include external legal advice. It is not possible to identify how much of this expenditure falls within the definition of “consultancy services”. |
