To ask the Scottish Executive how it will fund any new (a) health centres, (b) hospitals and (c) other NHS facilities it intends to build between May 2007 and April 2011, broken down by NHS board.
Answer
Capital and revenue funds are allocated on a formula basis to geographic NHS boards for them to identify their spending requirements and to prioritise these in line with available resources. NHS boards develop long-term financial plans and it is for them, when developing these plans, to take account of infrastructure investment. NHS boards across Scotland received £324 million pounds of capital funding for 2008-09, and have been notified of indicative capital allocations of £329 million and £334 million for 2009-10 and 2010-11 to build new fit-for-purpose facilities, and upgrade existing facilities.
