This information is not availablein the format requested. Information on the number of nurseries by management sectorsince 2003 are published in the Summary Results of the 2003 Pre-School and DaycareCensus, and the 2004-06 versions of Pre-School and Childcare Statistics(Bib. numbers 28688, 33362, 40112, and 40411 respectively).

Expenditure on students withlearning difficulties is not recorded specifically in local authority accounts.However, their information on the expenditure on special education is publishedin table 1.1 of Expenditure on School Education in Scotland, on the Executive’swebsite:http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2007/02/07145319/0.

Numbersof pupils with additional support needs, both in mainstream and special schools,are published in tables 1.1 and 1.5 of Pupils in Scotland, on the Executive’swebsite:

There may be some variation inthe way in which local authorities allocate spend on special education in theiraccounts, so per pupil calculations may not be accurate.

The Executive continues to demonstrateits support of renewable technologies by choosing to purchase 100% of the electricityrequired to run it’s buildings from new renewable sources. We have set a targetto reduce the emissions caused by energy use on our estate by 12.6%, from 1999-2000levels, by March 2011 building to an overall reduction of 30% by March 2020. Thesetargets will principally be delivered through improvements in efficiency on ourexisting estate but we are also currently investigating options for the installationof microgeneration technologies at a number of our buildings.

The Executive is working in partnershipwith it’s projects and property maintenance contractor to develop an energy actionplan during 2007 looking at both better management of existing systems and wherebetter technology can be utilised to reduce the carbon emissions relative to theoperation of our buildings. We will be commencing a project later this year to replacethe lighting, heating and cooling systems and controls at Meridian Court,one of our main buildings in Glasgow, to substantially improve the facilities available whiledelivering improvements in energy efficiency. We are also continuing to raise awarenessof the simple and effective measures such as turning off unnecessary lighting andswitching off computers, printers and photocopiers when not in use. This will beaddressed at both the corporate level through Executive-wide initiatives and atthe local level through the developing environmental management systems in our targetbuildings and our network of Environmental Guardians who are tasked with promotingbetter practices within the workplace.

The information requested isset out in the following table.

Notes:

1. The Departmental Expenditure Limits (DEL) budget has beenused which includes both operating and capital budgets.

2. A figure for 2006-07is not currently available.

The PPP commitments of the ScottishExecutive fall into two categories: the unitary charge for the Executive’s own PPPprojects and the support funding provided to local authority PPP projects. In thecase of the latter, the full unitary charge figure has not been shown as only thefunding provided by the Executive is a commitment for the Executive.

The table includes figures fromdevolution only.

For years prior to 2002-03,health boards had one statutory financial duty – to ensure that net expendituredoes not exceed their cash limit. The figures below show for that period the accumulatedposition of boards against their cash limits.

In 2002-03 Resource Accountingand Budgeting was introduced for NHS in Scotland, so the figures below show the accumulated position ofboards against their revenue resource limits. Under resource accounting surpluses and deficits do not accumulate. Any under/overspend against the resource limit is dealt with by an adjustment to the followingyear’s resource limit, therefore the accumulated and in year position are effectivelythe same.

The financial position of theNHS from 1996-97 to 2005-06 was as follows:

	£000
1996-97	14,500
1997-98	19,300
1998-99	34,500
1999-2000	37,469
2000-01	37,342
2001-02	43,737
2002-03	30,853

2004-05	11,010
