Gross capital expenditure is a significant, though variable, element of total health establishment expenditure.

Capital expenditure in the context of hospitals and closely related establishments is a relatively undeveloped area. Nevertheless, there is a considerable interest in health establishment capital expenditure data at the national level from many different potential users.
