Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what financial allocations he has made to health boards for 1985–86.

Mr. Younger

I have allocated £1,353 million to health boards to meet their gross recurrent expenditure commitments on hospitals and community health services in 1985–86, and £36.5 million for their ordinary capital programmes. After expected income is taken into account, the net cash limited allocations to individual health boards are as follows:
