To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-11134 by Cathy Jamieson on 28 October 2004, how many antisocial behaviour orders granted in each local authority area in each year since 1999 related to noise nuisance.
Answer
The Executive has commissioned research on the use of antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs), including data on the types of prohibitions made. Initial findings indicate that, in 2003-04, 46% of ASBOs included prohibitions on noise nuisance. Information on the content of antisocial behaviour orders has not been collected for previous years. An interim report will be published in the spring.
Section 15 of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 requires local authorities to keep records of orders in their area, including information on prohibitions imposed by the order. This will inform data collection on the use of ASBOs in future.

To ask the Scottish Executive how much (a) in cash terms and (b) per capita each NHS board was allocated because of a weighting for deprivation since the introduction of the Arbuthnott formula.
Answer
The Arbuthnott formula takes account of four main indicators to determine the level of funding allocated to each board. These are each board’s population size, age/sex structure, deprivation levels and remoteness. No specific allocation is made to boards because of the weighting for deprivation. The formula is used to determine the total level of funds allocated to boards for their unified budgets. It is for each board to decide how best to meet the health care needs of their resident population from the totality of the funds it receives, taking account of national and local priorities.
