HC Deb 14 December 1976 vol 922 c676W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total amount of money made available for Scottish hospital services' revenue expenditure in the current financial year; how this compares at constant prices with the allocation in 1975–76; and what is the projected figure for 1977–78 at constant prices.

Mr. Harry Ewing

Just over £443 million in 1976–77, an increase of 2 per cent. in real terms over 1975–76. The figure for 1977–78 will be announced in due course.
