§ Mr. Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish figures to show, for the years 1983–84, 1984–85 and 1985–86, National Health Service revenue expenditure in Scotland for the first two years and the allocation for the current year; and if he will also give figures to show for the individual boards the additional cost of teaching and additional other costs in teaching hospitals expressed in cost terms and as cost per student.
§ Mr. John MacKayTotal current expenditure by health boards on hospital and community health services was £1,218.3 million in 1983–84 and £1,299£1 million in 1984–85. It is estimated that expenditure on the same basis will amount to £1,378 million in 1985–86.
The table shows the estimates made for revenue allocation purposes of the additional costs arising for individual health boards in meeting their teaching responsibilities. These costs have been expressed at 1985–86 prices as measured by the gross domestic product deflator. The cost per student calculation has been based on the additional cost of teaching only, since the estimates of additional other costs in teaching hospitals are distributed under the SHARE (Scottish Health Authorities Revenue Equalisation) calculations to teaching boards according to the proportion of the composite weighted population of Scotland served by each such board.
