§ Mr. MooreTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list for each NHS trust in Scotland the projected deficits or surpluses itemised in the monthly monitoring returns as at 31 December 1997, indicating the total of the projected deficits or surpluses. [40937]
§ Mr. GalbraithThe table provides the information requested, as well as the most up-to-date figures available from the Trust monitoring returns.
For those Trusts who have forecast deficits, this is predominantly due to the accounting treatment of the write down in value of Trust assets. In most cases, therefore, the deficit does not reflect poor operational performance. Rather, it is as a result of service reconfiguration and the rationalisation of NHS Estate.
