§ Mr. DarlingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much(a) health authorities and (b) trusts have spent on auditors' remuneration in each year since 1992 in Scotland. [14295]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe information requested is detailed in the table. It is not, however, possible to identify expenditure split between health boards and trusts prior to 1995–96, therefore the figure given for each year is the audit remuneration for both health boards and trusts. In 1995–96 the Accounts Commission took over responsibility for the audit of the NHS in Scotland.
Year Audit remuneration £000 1992–93 1,070 1993–94 1,314 1994–95 1,828 1995–96 2,968
