Question
To ask the Scottish Government what further financial support will be made available to health and social care services in responding to COVID-19 in 2020-21.
Answer
Following the allocation of £1.1 billion to support additional COVID-19 costs in 2020-21 that was announced on 29 September 2020, the Scottish Government is providing further funding of £491 million to NHS Boards and Integration Authorities. This takes our total level of support to £1.7 billion, and ensures that our frontline services continue to have the funding that they require throughout this pandemic.
Details of the funding allocation to NHS Boards and Integration Authorities are set out in the following table:
