To ask the Scottish Executive what NHS Tayside’s percentage share of the overall initial revenue allocation to territorial NHS boards is in 2010-11 and what that percentage would be using the NHS Scotland Resource Allocation Committee (NRAC) calibration.
Answer
NHS Tayside''s percentage share of the overall initial revenue allocation to territorial NHS boards in 2010-11 was 7.97%, this compares to their NRAC target share of 7.84%.
I have confirmed that no Board will receive less funding than it does at present as a result of transition to the NRAC formula and any changes will be phased in over a number of years as has been the practice under both the previous SHARE and Arbuthnott formulae.
