Expenditure on the National Health Service cannot be broken down by health board area since a significant part of Health Service expenditure is incurred centrally. Most expenditure on social work is incurred by local authorities and figures by health board area are not held centrally.
Estimates of net total expenditure on health and social work per head of population in Scotland are as follows:
1987–88 £ 1988–89 £ Health 444 467 Social Work1 81 85 1 The local authority current expenditure element of the 1987–88 figure is based on actual social work budgets, while the 1988–89 figure is based on the service provision within the rate support grant settlement.
