§ Mr. Gordon Brownasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing Health Service expenditure in Scotland for each year since 1979 in real terms, adjusted for (a) the gross domestic product deflator and (b) the medical price index.
§ Mr. John MacKay[pursuant to his reply, 6 December 1985, c. 383]The information requested is as follows:
The figures in column (b) have been constructed by reference to the National Health Service pay and price index maintained for England by the Department of Health and Social Security.

§ Mr. Younger[pursuant to his reply, 2 December 1985, c. 53]The table gives current expenditure on hospital and community health services by each health board in each year since 1979–80 at 1985–86 prices as measured by the gross domestic product deflator, along with the indices requested. No separate record is maintained of pay and price movements within the NHS in Scotland. When measured by a National Health Service pay and price index maintained for England by the Department of Health and Social Security, expenditure on hospital and community health services in Scotland between 1979–80 and 1984–85 has increased by 6.5 per cent. It would not be appropriate to measure movement in the expenditure of individual health boards on hospital services by reference to the index for national pay and price movements in England, because the composition of individual health boards' expenditure may differ substantially from the national average.
