Vol. 406 No. 7

Written Answers. - Health Board Losses.

Michael Bell

Question:

211 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Health the accumulated losses by the North Eastern-Health Board for each of the last ten years.

Health boards do not operate on a profit and loss basis as their services are funded by a combination of Exchequer grant and minor income.

I assume the Deputy may be referring to expenditure overruns in the last ten years. Details are as follows:

£ Million

1980-83

Nil

1984

.059

1985

Nil

1986

1.431

1987

.277

1988

.334

1989

.463

As final figures are not yet available for 1990 it is not possible to give details for that year.
