Boards have flexibility to transfer funds between their recurrent and locally managed capital expenditure programmes.

An additional special allocation of £6.5 million in 1983–84 has been made to enable boards to make a start on upgrading their stock in the light of the recent survey of the capital estate in Scotland.

The expenditure plans set out in Cmnd. 8789 envisage total capital expenditure on health services in the next three financial years of £111 million, £120 million and £130 million, respectively.
