The Department does not collect any information for the National Health Service by county or English region. Individual trusts have therefore been grouped together by region based on their geographical location.

Capital spend per head of population for 2007-08 to 2013-14 for primary care trusts, NHS trusts and foundation trusts collectively, and the Department of Health Group as a whole (England only) are shown in the table below.
