Whilst supply arrangements in England and Wales are not directly comparable with Scottish contractual arrangements, elements of the new funding arrangements introduced there in April 2010 have been considered in the development of the Scottish Government''s proposals.

To ask the Scottish Executive for what reason its consultation on the terms of the tenders to be issued for the provision of stoma appliances to NHS Scotland in 2010-12 lasted only eight weeks.
Answer
Direct consultations with representative bodies of commercial organisations, who would be directly affected by the terms of new tenders to replace those whose term was due to end in March 2010, commenced in November 2009 and continued into February 2010. A formal consultation on the terms of the tenders to be issued for the provision of stoma appliances to NHS Scotland for the period 2010-12, informed by these exchanges, was accordingly issued on 22 March 2010 and closed formally on 17 May 2010. The Scottish Government believes that all parties likely to be affected by the forthcoming tender and who wished to make representations have had an appropriate opportunity to do so.

To ask the Scottish Executive for what reason its consultation on the terms of the tenders to be issued for the provision of stoma appliances to NHS Scotland in 2010-12 proposes a global sum for spend on stoma appliances set at 2006-07 levels.
Answer
The Consultation on the terms of tenders to be issued for the provision of stoma appliances to NHS Scotland for the period 2010-12 does not propose a Global Sum for total spend on stoma appliances. It includes a proposal for a Global Sum only in respect of the remuneration paid to stoma service contractors for appliance dispensing in a similar way to how remuneration for community pharmacy contractors dispensing drugs and other non stoma items is subject to a Global Sum. The reason for the proposal is to seek better value for money for NHS Scotland in dispensing of stoma appliances in accordance with the existing service model.
