چکیده
1.1 Figure 1 of Annex A plots data for the 301 PCTs out of the 303 listed in the Department of Health’s document for which figures are available for both axes. The y-axis is the (presumably cumulative) surplus (negative if deficit) by the end of 2004-05, expressed as a percentage of the 2004-05 turnover. The x-axis is the PCT’s target index for the period 2003/6, defined as the (per capita) ratio of the formula-derived unified weighted population to the estimate of the population for which the PCT is responsible.
