§ Mr. GalbraithTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the capital charges for each health board in Scotland.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythThe capital charging system does not commence until 1 April 1991. Health boards have, however, submitted forecasts of their likely capital charges for 1991–92, as shown in the table below. Actual capital charges for the year will be included in boards' annual accounts. Each board is receiving full reimbursement for its capital charges in 1991–92, so that the introduction of capital charging in that year will be entirely neutral in funding terms.
