Internally generated resources refers to “that element of trusts’ capital expenditure which they fund from their charges to health care purchasers.” Expenditure in excess of internally generated resoruces is funded through loans from the secretary of state for health (trust external financing). Only the latter constitutes additional government expenditure.
