Population estimates are based on the OPCS mid-year estimates of the resident England population. 5. The cost per head figures assume the following fundholder population coverage: 1991-92 7 per cent 1992-93 13 per cent 1993-94 25 per cent 1994-95 35 per cent 1995-96 41 per cent 1996-97 52 per cent 1997-98 56 per cent 4.10 ALLOCATIONS TO NATIONAL SPECIALIST SERVICES What was the total allocation in 1996-97 and 1997-98 to each of the supra regional services and what is the planned allocation for 1998-99; and what significant changes have there been in the overall pattern of expenditure? 1. The expenditure on each of the supra regional/national specialist services in 1996-97, 1997-98 and the service agreement value for 1998-99 is given in the table 4.10.1. 2. The National Specialist Commissioning Advisory Group (NSCAG) was established in April 1996 to advise Ministers on the identification and funding of services where central intervention into local commissioning of patient services was necessary for reasons of clinical effectiveness, equity of access, and/or economic viability. NSCAG superseded the Supra Regional Services Advisory Group.
