Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much of his current health budget is spent on research in Scotland as a percentage and as a cash sum; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The provision for research expenditure in the current year is £5,144,000, or 0.2 per cent. of the total health budget. The cash figure represents an increase of nearly 12 per cent. over estimated expenditure in 1988–89.
